As a trial lawyer, using your definitions, I have represented both Blamers and Fixers in many medical malpractice claims, but have always felt my legal representation was in the Fixer direction.

Seeking just compensation for the victims of medical wrongdoing is one way to allow Blamers to move towards Fixer status which, I agree, is better for them emotionally.

It is good to know my greedy ways have a socially redeeming quality. Thank you for brightening my day.

Me! Me! I’m a fixer and an advocate. I’m so fortunate to have gotten my dx of Myasthenia Gravis and Sjogren’s Syndrome so easily while so many others suffer in limbo. So I’ve taken that on as part of my advocate role.

I also am able to be assertive in my own and my family’s medical care. My friends call me Dr. Connie, but actually it’s research and having my Social Work background.

Thanks for being a fixer too. You go above and beyond.
