Minimize Your Risk of Malpractice Suits - Follow Up
On April 8th of this year, I wrote “Prepare to apologize. Lawyers cringe at this advice, but doctors who admit their errors, particularly the little ones, and treat the patient with respect and apologize, tend to get sued less frequently. Some organizations, such as the VA, have adopted this guideline as policy, and the number of suits has fallen since its implementation.”
It looks like the New York Times agrees. I recommend this article as a good read.
