Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
All gastroenterologists are at risk of being accused of medical malpractice; few have received much training about what to do should a lawsuit occur. This article details what one can expect in a typical medical malpractice negligence claim and reviews basic relevant legal terminology. The timeline of a lawsuit is described, particularly noting the physician's role in discovery and trial. Cautions and suggestions for successful navigation of this unfamiliar and uncomfortable world are dispensed. |
