Why Doctors Get Sued Even When They’re Right w/ Adam Garth | OON Ep. 22


Listen Later

In this episode of Out of Network, Dr. Ryon Parker sits down with Attorney Adam Garth (healthcare defense attorney) for a behind-the-scenes look at how malpractice cases, board complaints, documentation, AI notes, and telemedicine risk actually play out - and why it’s driving physicians out of certain markets.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why doctors are “under assault” in some jurisdictions - and why they leave
✅ The real cost of a lawsuit: 2–3 years with a cloud over your head
✅ How concierge medicine can reduce risk by giving you time to practice and document well
✅ AI scribing: powerful, but risky if you don’t verify (because the chart becomes evidence)
✅ Why many board complaints aren’t malpractice - they’re billing/respect/front desk issues (and still consume hours and legal fees)
✅ Telemedicine’s blind spot when you can’t put hands on the patient
✅ The simplest legal advice in medicine: “Document, whatever you’re doing.”
