In this episode of the Money Meets Medicine podcast, host Dr. Jimmy Turner is joined by Dr. Gita Pensa, an adjunct associate professor at Brown University and an expert in malpractice litigation stress and physician litigation support. Dr. Pensa discusses her decade-long experience with a malpractice lawsuit, the psychological and financial impact of being named in a lawsuit, and her work to support other physicians through her podcast 'Doctors in Litigation, the L Word' and her LEAP course.
Key topics include the teachings of risk management and litigation preparation, the role and ethics of medical expert witnesses, and strategies for coping with the psychological stress of lawsuits. Dr. Pensa emphasizes the importance of understanding one's malpractice policy and reframes the defendant's role in litigation to foster empowerment. The episode also highlights resources for ongoing support and education for doctors facing litigation.
