You've Been Served- Now What? with Drs. Shideh Shafie and Gita Pensa

Doctors Living Deliberately

“You’ve been served.”
It is a phrase that every physician dreads hearing. And yet our chances of hearing it are pretty high. Today we address the fear that most every physician will face within their career… medical malpractice.
In this episode, returning guest Dr. Shideh Shafie, is joined by her friend and colleague, Dr. Gita Pensa, the host of “Doctors and Litigation,The L Word” Podcast. They talk with Dr. DePalma and Dr. Hersh about medical malpractice litigation and the significant impact it has on physicians, leaving them feeling angry, frustrated, and overwhelmed by the legal process. We discuss important strategies that physicians can utilize when faced with these challenges and how to change our mindset around litigation in a way that empowers us.
This episode is a must-listen for all practicing physicians regardless of whether ‘you’ve been served’ or not.
