What do you do if you
can't make your medical malpractice lawsuit disappear?
Learn how to navigate the process through a framework of a game.
Where you take charge of life through litigation, and not let the lawsuit become a destructive force in your life.

Physician Advocate & Coach
Introduction
​
My name is Christine Zharova. With 15 years defending healthcare professionals in lawsuits as a medical malpractice lawyer behind me, I now guide physicians as a medical malpractice coach, consultant, and educator.
I started my own journey after witnessing the destructive ripple effect that the litigation process had on physicians' lives: DUIs, divorces, major shifts in practices, burnout, some leaving the practice of medicine altogether. I saw how lawsuits struck physicians at their core. It was hard to watch lives be turned upside down by a process that is so inextricably tied to physicians' chosen profession.
​
I tried my best to ease their pain. Besides being a lawyer, I was also a confidant, a cheerleader, and to some of my physician-clients, a friend. But they needed more ... so much more.
​
Through the years, I have learned several things time and time again:
Physicians need more resources while they navigate the lengthy process.
The meaning of lawsuits needs to be neutralized.
Education on medical-legal issues should begin before a lawsuit is filed, before physicians’ emotional floodgates are busted open.
​
This has brought me to educating, consulting, and coaching, which I combine and which I tailor, to fit to each physician. I am here to fill in the gap between the traditional resources and what doctors actually need, so the process does not feel like a long isolating journey ... like mere survival.
​
If litigation is an occupational hazard of the medical profession, it is time for a change. It is far too lengthy to allow it to permeate through every fiber of a physician's life.
I hope you join the movement to reinvent the physician experience.

​
A medical malpractice process is no different than a game.
There are players, objectives, and goals.
There are challenges, tools, and rules.
There is a finish line.
​
Most physicians don't even realize they had signed up
to play the game.
​
They do not fully understand the rules. They are not optimizing the tools. ​They are merely surviving the process.
Is that the best we can do?
Let's change things up.
