When Match Day Doesn't Go Your Way

Litigation is a taboo subject in the medical field, but what if we could change that?


A lot of doctors live in fear of one day being sued but not a lot of us talk about it. By bringing it up on the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians podcast, I hope that we can open up the discussion and make it less of a scary subject. 


Dr. Gita Pensa is joining us to discuss how we can support doctors (including ourselves) through litigation so they make it out in one piece rather than broken apart by trauma. She’s sharing why things have to change and how that change starts with us. 


Gita S. Pensa, M.D. is a speaker, educator, coach, and creator of “Doctors and Litigation: The L Word.” She helps good doctors manage the stressors of adverse events, litigation, and burnout.


Topics covered in this episode include:

What to do if you’re named in a malpractice caseWho to talk to about what you’re going through How to help yourself and other doctors feel less isolatedOvercoming fear of litigation 
Whether you or someone you know is going through a malpractice case or you want to be better prepared to support doctors in your community, this is an important episode for everyone to hear.
