The Rude Get Sued
Most hospital staff and patients try to avoid rude physicians…
Lawyers look for them.
Jurors may not understand the medicine in a malpractice case, but all have been the target of rude or rushed care. This rude behavior multiplier leads to “Jackpot Justice”.
Lawyers just love a good “service lapse”- angry words, a “TUDE”, even a late return phone call, or a cranky staff person. They revel when doctors and nurses are at odds.
In fact, patients often sue not because of genuine rude behavior, but their perception of short, curt treatment, or a feeling of incomplete disclosure. How can caregivers improve their patients’ perceptions, their expectations of care, to immunize themselves against suits?
Inappropriate demands from doctors
It is common for doctors to cope with demands from public, its own professional circle, family members and friends. Many of these demands are often inappropriate. How does one cope with it when such situation arises?

Breaking bad news
Breaking bad news in clinical practice is a complex task that one is faced with constantly and needs some level of skills
Breaking bad news
This document provides guidance on effectively breaking bad news to patients. It begins with introducing the SPIKES protocol, a six-step approach to breaking bad news. The six steps are: setting, perception, invitation, knowledge, emotion, and subsequent. Each step is then defined and best practices are outlined. Examples of bad news, why it should be done properly, what makes it difficult, and other models are also discussed. The document concludes with dos and don'ts, considerations for language barriers, and references.
Principles of Patient Counseling
The document outlines principles of patient counseling and communicating bad news. It discusses the importance of obtaining consent from patients, providing information in a sensitive manner, and allowing patients to process information at their own pace. Guidelines are provided for setting up private discussions, assessing a patient's understanding, disclosing medical details with empathy, and developing future care strategies together. The goal is to fully inform patients while respecting their rights, emotions, and decisions throughout the counseling process.
Protecting a friend
Dr. Adam Marshall, a prominent surgeon from Uptown General Hospital, became infected with HIV while volunteering in Zambia. During a sightseeing break, he became ill from heat and dehydration. A local woman helped him but had lacerated hands that were oozing. The following week, the same woman was treated for AIDS. Though no official report was filed, Dr. Marshall tested positive for HIV. A year later, he experienced lightheadedness and surgical mishaps at work. Per AMA policies, an HIV-positive healthcare worker can practice if there is no significant risk of transmission and no impairment of abilities, but patients should be notified of any potential exposure.

Malpractice in Surgery: Is Defensive Medicine a Solution?
Error is an inherent possibility of all human activities. The term malpractice associated with medical errors originates in “Mala Praxis”, since 1794, which is defined as 'neglect or unskillful management of a physician or surgeon' [1]. Since then, "the first recorded medical malpractice lawsuit in the US takes place in Connecticut where a patient died of a surgical complication" [2]. The problem evolved during the 19th Century through lawyers who acted aggressively, with most lawsuits related to errors in treating fractures, dislocations, and amputations [3]. Most lawsuits were for alleged medical errors during the first half of the 20th Century

This document summarizes interviews from MedicalResearch.com about recent medical studies. The interviews discuss key findings, unexpected results, and implications for clinicians and future research. In one interview, a study found that enabling patients to self-monitor blood pressure and adjust medications led to better control than usual care. Another interview discussed a trial showing that telephone counseling reduced sexually transmitted infections in adolescent girls for up to three years. A third interview presented a study linking longer use of sulfonylurea diabetes medications to increased risk of heart disease.

Difficult patient & breaking bad news
This document discusses difficult patients from the perspective of a family medicine consultant. It begins by defining difficult patients as those with whom physicians have trouble forming effective relationships. It then describes common types of difficult patients such as somatizing patients, dependent clingers, entitled demanders, and manipulative help-rejectors. Risk factors for difficult patients are identified including psychiatric disorders and functional impairments. The document provides cues for identifying difficult patient behaviors and discusses strategies for handling situations like breaking bad news to patients and families.
disclosure in medical errors.pptx
Here are a few potential arguments against disclosing this medical error:
- The error was minor and unlikely to cause harm, so there is no need to disclose and risk upsetting the parents unnecessarily.
- Disclosing could undermine the parents' trust in the medical system even though the child was not actually harmed.
- Parents may not realize an error occurred, so telling them just introduces unwarranted worry or concern.
- Disclosure focuses on the mistake rather than the child's well-being and risks damaging the doctor-patient relationship.
However, there are also good arguments for disclosure, such as the principles of honesty, respecting patient autonomy, and avoiding potential future harm from non-disclosure
Doctor patient communication and relationship
The document discusses effective doctor-patient communication skills. It outlines how communication skills can improve job satisfaction for doctors, clinical outcomes for patients, and reduce legal complaints. The document then discusses specific communication techniques including active listening, using open-ended questions, summarizing, acknowledging patients' emotions, and creating treatment plans jointly with patients. It provides mnemonics like LEARN and CLASS to help remember best practices for communication.
Enhanced communication
This document provides guidelines for effective communication in healthcare settings. It discusses best practices for breaking bad news, handling adverse events, dealing with aggressive patients/families, and medication reconciliation. Key recommendations include disclosing information honestly, ensuring privacy, maintaining eye contact, answering all questions, and documenting discussions. The primary consultant should communicate major issues while involving other stakeholders as needed.

ith medical malpractice insurance premiums
rising sharply across the nation and at least a
dozen states facing an insurance crisis, physicians
and policymakers are debating vigorously how
best to respond. Tort reforms that would cap awards are
among the proposals and have proven effective at moderat-
ing premiums in several states. [See “Understanding the
Physician Liability Insurance Crisis,” FPM, October 2002,
page 47.] But while physicians await legislative action or an
upturn in the economy to soften the impact of insurance
hikes, there is something doctors can do: better manage risk.
Risk management involves more than just reading a
journal article, listening to a lecture or filling out a work-
book. It is a style of practice that endeavors, first and
foremost, to prevent patient injuries; second, to avoid
malpractice claims; and third, when a claim does occur,
to reduce malpractice claim losses.
First prevent patient injury
