For practicing cardiologists, the statistics are grim. According to recent studies, chances are you've either been sued for malpractice already or will be sued at least once during your career, and the effects will be devastating both financially and emotionally.
Understanding the etiology of malpractice in cardiology as well as the preventive steps you can take to avoid it are critical to keeping you out of a plaintiff attorney's crosshairs.
That's why Oakstone Medical, publisher of Practical Reviews in Cardiology, is releasing "When Bad Things Happen to Good Doctors," an audio CD filled with surprising facts about the prevalence and causes of malpractice claims in cardiology, instructive case studies of real-life lawsuits, and practical recommendations for minimizing your risk.
Authored by Johns Hopkins professors Jeffrey Brinker, MD, and Gary Gerstenblith, MD, and narrated by Dr. Brinker, this insightful one-hour presentation is a must-have resource for cardiologists who want to make sure they don't become caught up in the frustration, expense, and heartache of a malpractice suit. And as Dr. Brinker points out, it is not necessarily negligence that will land you in court. In fact, detailed studies show that many suits – even those settled for millions or lost at trial – involve no errors, no adverse events, and no negligence!
