To err is human… and yet, healthcare providers can still be blindsided when they’re hit with a malpractice claim or have an unexpected outcome after a case. It’s the last thing you want to deal with and it can certainly be a blow emotionally, physically, and sometimes financially.  

But, how often are doctors really sued? Is there a certain specialty or gender that is sued more often? Does age or practice location have any affect on the likelihood of being named in a malpractice claim? In today’s episode we’re going to answer these questions and help unpack this topic in a bit more detail so that you can have a better understanding of your personal exposure and then take the appropriate steps to educate and protect yourself.
