“You’ve been served.”
It is a phrase that every physician dreads hearing. And yet our chances of hearing it are high. Today we address the fear that almost every physician will face within their career… medical malpractice.
In this episode, returning guest Dr. Shideh Shafie is joined by her friend and colleague, Dr. Gita Pensa, who hosts the podcast: “Doctors and Litigation: The L Word.” They talk with Dr. DePalma and Dr. Hersh about medical malpractice litigation and its significant impact on physicians, leaving them feeling angry, frustrated, and overwhelmed by the legal process. We discuss essential strategies that physicians can utilize when faced with these challenges and how to change our mindset around litigation in a way that empowers us.
This episode is a must-listen for all practicing physicians regardless of whether ‘you’ve been served’ or not.
