Show Notes
Statistics show 75% of emergency physicians are named in malpractice lawsuits during their career - and the only correlation with being sued is the number of years practiced and the number of patients seen over time. Being sued does not mean you are a bad doctor, but rather you are practicing in a high-risk specialty.
Join EMRA*Cast host Ranjita Raghavan, MD, (@DrRanjitaMD) and Camie Sorensen, MD, of St. Agnes Hospital (@AgnesEmr) in a discussion of the medico-legal realities of practicing emergency medicine.
