Send us a text
In this episode of Emergency Minute, Dr. John Parente sits down with Dr. Scott Jones, an emergency physician and former attorney, to break down what every doctor needs to know when medicine collides with the law.
From child abuse to domestic violence, ER physicians are often thrust into situations that may later end up in a courtroom. Dr. Jones shares his unique dual perspective as both a lawyer and a physician, offering practical advice on what to say, what not to say, and how to protect yourself while providing excellent patient care.
Whether you’re an emergency doc, resident, or any healthcare professional, this conversation is packed with critical insights that could keep you out of trouble when the spotlight shifts from the trauma bay to the witness stand.
