Join the Doctor Podcast Network today!—--------In this episode, Dr. Gita Pensa advocates for physicians navigating the storm of malpractice lawsuits. She opens up about the emotional and psychological toll of physicians being sued. She shares her own journey through litigation and how it inspired her to help others facing similar struggles. Dr. Pensa helps refine doctors' mindset during litigation, providing insightful guidelines to help defend themselves with confidence and clarity during depositions and trials. She recommends two goals for everyone in deposition; one is to accept the situation. Letting go of the emotions rather than argue over reality. At best grief, but don't suffer guilt. Secondly, that physicians be good defendants for themselves. She stresses that the physician's overall objective is to get the jury into their thought process, since they are not medical practitioners themselves.She believes that by supporting each other and advocating for systemic change, physicians can not only survive litigation but grow stronger through it. She also encourages doctors to push back against the unrealistic expectation of perfection in medicine, reminding them that they're humans. BIODr. Gita S. Pensa, M.D. is a speaker, educator, coach, and creator of Doctors and Litigation: The L Word. An associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Clinician Educator, and Associate Director of the Emergency Digital Health Innovation program at Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She is the editor/host of the Academic Emergency Medicine podcast series, AEM Early Access. She podcasts and speaks nationally on litigation and litigation stress, and most recently won the 2019 Rhode Island ACEP chapter's Special Service Recognition Award for 'Courageous Public Advocacy of Rhode Island Emergency Medicine Colleagues.'She is widely recognized as one of the nation's leading experts on malpractice litigation, stress, and physician litigation support. She gives practical and psychological preparation necessary for malpractice litigation defendants. She's been featured in forums such as Time Magazine, South by Southwest, NPR, and a new PBS documentary, A World of Hurt, How Medical Malpractice Fails Everyone. She helps good doctors manage the stressors of adverse events, litigation, and burnout. Website: doctorsandlitigation.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gita-pensa-m-d-693557189Twitter (X): https://x.com/GitaPensaMDDoctors and Litigation: The L Word  Did you know…You can also be a guest on our show?

Legal Operations is a broad emerging discipline that encompasses all aspects of the business of law including litigation support, technology, service delivery and more. Thus, eDiscovery is a major operational consideration for law firms and corporate law departments tasked with managing and securing data. Organizations typically handle eDiscovery along a spectrum where they insource or outsource certain elements of the process. What are the risks and benefits of different eDiscovery service models? How might development of key personnel to manage aspects of service give firms a competitive advantage? Questions Ann asked the speakers: -How would you describe the significance of eDiscovery services as a component of legal operations for a law firm or corporation? -What are some of the costs associated with developing talent to manage eDiscovery within the firm, and how are those costs justified? -What additional considerations should be weighed when determining how much of the eDiscovery process to insource? -Once you start a team, how can you grow the team and what additional areas could the group serve?

Supply and demand are basic economic forces. As we know, the more scarce a desired product or service is, the higher the price. This means a small pool of valuation pros offering expert services like litigation support can command a good price. Litigation appraising or support is an interest-rate safe field. People will always become deceased and get divorced (not in that order). Roads will be built and widened and easements needed. Listen in as Bryan and his guest, a litigation specialist, explain a great way to set yourself apart and make more money.* * * * * * * * * * * * *At Appraiser eLearning, we're here to help our fellow professionals.  Our motto: Learn because you want to.We're more than just a CE shop.

Kyle Campbell, Vice-President of Litigation Support at Frontline Managed Services, joins Christa Miller to talk through the breakdown of silos between digital forensics, e-discovery, and incident response, and the continued increases in complexity and interconnectivity of data sources as well as the impact of data privacy laws and evolving case law on preservation and collection.

Project management skills are essential in litigation support to respect deadlines and deliverables. Similar to juggling many balls at once and the trick is not to drop one, two, or more. Get advice from experts on managing expectations - the key to success is not always known - but the key to failure is certainly trying to please everyone. Questions Kathy will ask speakers: - What are some of the most difficult expectations you have had to deal with and how have you dealt with them? - Do you have any time management strategies you can pass along? How can you effectively prioritize to meet demands? - Can or should a plan-B be offered when a deliverable is impossible ? - What advice would you give to someone about managing expectations?
