Dr. Manjot Mashiana never planned to become an emergency medicine physician. In fact, she initially ruled the specialty out entirely. But a one-year fellowship changed the direction of her career—and deepened her passion for caring for patients during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

In this episode of Reliably Well, Dr. Mashiana shares with Libbo Crosswhite her journey from family medicine to emergency medicine, the story of her parents who shaped her work ethic and commitment to service, and the mentors who encouraged her to step outside her original plans. She also discusses her experience with the Relias Fellowship program, as well as covering one of the biggest challenges facing clinicians today: the growing distrust of medical information and the impact of misinformation on patient care.

What happens when a physician is sued, and why does medicine make clinicians feel like they should be ashamed of it?

In this episode of Reliably Well, Dr. Gita Pensa discusses her journey through a 12-year malpractice case and the anxiety, depression, and isolation that followed. She explains how she transformed that experience into a mission to help clinicians understand litigation, build resilience, and break the culture of shame surrounding malpractice.

Dr. Pensa, Dr. Johnsey, and Libbo Crosswhite explore the realities of litigation, the importance of peer support, and how physicians can become better prepared for one of the most difficult experiences of their careers. Maybe most importantly, they discuss how medicine can create a culture where clinicians feel safe asking for help, and where being sued doesn't have to define who you are as a doctor.
