This podcast,Transitioning from Clinician to Legal Consultant, provides a more uncommon perspective on the world of medical malpractice. Jeff Willis, MD, served as a board-certified emergency department practitioner. In time, he shifted his professional focus to working with attorneys. In his new career, he has seen the best and worst of medical care.
This career has grown rapidly. He works as a consulting physician, and he has gotten most of his clientele by writing about medical cases on LinkedIn. He doesn’t actively seek contacts, although when he concludes a successful case, he will ask the attorney for referrals—and he gets them.
He’s acquired a lot of experience in a brief time, and from his altered perspective, he’s observed that most medical malpractice suits stem from systemic errors. For example, there will be insufficient safeguards to prevent someone getting the wrong medication or blood.
Due to the lack of communication in hospitals, even those part of the same system, Hospital B, which is in the same system as Hospital A, will make the same error.
Lawsuits also occur when the hospital doesn’t proactively explain to the affected parties why the error occurred. Most plaintiffs want to make sure that the tragedy that impacted their lives doesn’t reoccur. Sometimes it takes the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service to initiate effective change.
You’ll find this physician’s perspective on medical malpractice fascinating, and you’ll learn a lot from this podcast.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Transitioning from Clinician to Legal Consultant:
- What do malpractice clients want to accomplish?
- What difference does it make when the hospital is proactive in explaining what went wrong?
- Why has it gotten more difficult to find suitable expert witnesses?
- Why is LinkedIn a good way to build your practice?
- What is the greatest cause of medical errors?
