The Current Legal System: Edmund Chein's Fight for Change Legal issues are an important part of the medical process. Government-issued patents allow doctors to receive credit for their accomplishments while at the same time allowing others to use their work as a springboard for new discoveries. As we continue to progress as a global society, new discoveries are the lifeblood of our survival as a human race. We are not static as a community. I, Edmund Chein believe that must keep moving and take chances. With a medical and a legal degree, I feel confident in my abilities to manage increasingly frequent interactions between law and medicine. Physicians need to be governed to insure the health of their patients. The trouble begins when fear of legal actions stop physicians from moving forward with potentially life-saving discoveries. I've written this page to demonstrate a few of the issues discovery can bring to a physician, and to demonstrate my allegiance to change and progress despite legal difficulties along the way. Judicial rulings can be at times too limiting, which simply proves that law, like medicine, must change with the times and with new developments. As our environment changes, as our borders change, as our global needs change, our medicine and our legal rulings must shift and mold to adhere to modern standards. Why did I found Edmund Chein's Palm Springs Life Extension Institute? It wasn't founded so much in order to gain international recognition but rather to help people internationally. The Palm Springs Life Extension Institute has licensees in Chile, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. These licensees are doctors who wish to follow the Edmund Chein example with innovative hormone treatments. Why do they want to follow my example? My American clinic alone has seen 9,000 patients since its opening in 1994. Some patients have been on the program for over ten years, and none of them have developed cancer: this is of note because of suggestions by detractors that hormone use, such as those using synthetic estrogen, cause cancer. I have yet to be found liable for a single case of medical malpractice. I avoid malpractice charges because I am conscientious, because I know my rights, and because I care about the health of my patients as well as the future patients of other doctors. Beyond the 9,000 individuals I have treated in the United States, patients internationally from dozens of countries (including Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, England, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and the People's Republic of China) have been helped by my hormonal innovations. I have confidence in my methods, and I know that my findings will help people for generations to come. I believe strongly that my efforts will invoke a positive change, and this belief is what drives me to fight.
