About Tim Hopkins

"Until it happens to you"

In my unique consulting practice, I’m known as “the fixer”, “the hammer”, and “the eraser”…strategically fixing corporate problems to their financial and business gain.  When my leg was tragically amputated following a horrendous medical situation involving an orthopedic physician and practice, it was something completely out of my control.  I couldn’t fix it. I couldn’t erase what had been done to me. But, I worked strategically to rebuild my life, my body, my career and consulting practice. In my life-altering experience, I’ve spent years accumulating strategies and stories to overcome difficult circumstances that’ll translate into your business success.

Additional Setbacks & Outcomes

  • Constant grade 8 phantom limb pain every day for the balance of my life.
  • High risk for recurrent sepsis due to the fact that they cannot eradicate the bacteria.
  • Severe limitations on my career with the real potential of going on disability and not working.
  • Severe financial strain and fear of what is coming down the road.
  • Reduced life expectancy opined by medical professionals.
  • PTSD from traumatic experience.

Continuing On With Life

What happened to me should have never happened, especially with today’s medicine. But what happens when your questions are not answered, your concerns are disregarded, and your physician fails you, leaving you abandoned unwilling to forward medical records or communicate with the emergent services trying to save your life?  It happened to me. And today, I continue to live with the mess and debilitating pain…for the rest of my life.
