Welcome back to the Legal Nurse Podcast! In this insightful episode, Pat Iyer sits down with Dr. Kenny Stein, a seasoned emergency department physician and expert witness, to unravel the complexities and high-pressure realities of emergency medicine as they intersect with legal liability. With over 27 years of clinical experience and two decades serving as an expert witness, Dr. Kenny Stein brings a wealth of knowledge about how patient care in the emergency department can become the focal point of litigation. During their conversation, Pat Iyer and Dr. Kenny Stein discuss the nuts and bolts of what makes a medical malpractice case viable, examining the four essential elements every plaintiff's attorney must prove: duty, breach of standard of care, damages, and causation. They go behind the scenes of the emergency department, discussing how communication breakdowns, especially during patient handoffs, can trigger errors and create fertile ground for lawsuits. You'll hear powerful anecdotes pulled straight from Dr. Stein's experience, including unusual medical scenarios and cautionary tales where missed results and documentation pitfalls spelled trouble. This episode also explores evolving trends in emergency medicine, from the impact of electronic health records and templated notes to the emergence of AI in radiology. What happens when patients bounce back to the ER after discharge? Who is responsible for critical follow-up and test results once a patient leaves? And how does the language of documentation shift under the microscope of litigation? Tune in to get actionable insights for legal nurse consultants, attorneys, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of clinical care and the law. What You'll Learn in This Episode is Unpacking Medical Negligence: What Every Legal Nurse Should Know About ER Cases Here are 5 discussion questions answered by Pat Iyer and Kenny Stein in the podcast: What are the four main elements a plaintiff attorney must prove to make a medical negligence case viable, and why is each element important? How do the concepts of "standard of care" and "gold standard" differ in a legal context, according to Kenny Stein? Discuss how the process of handoff in the emergency department can lead to critical gaps in communication. What are some ways to mitigate these risks? Why can delayed test results after a patient has left the emergency department result in liability issues, and what systems are in place to prevent these situations? What are “bounce backs” in the emergency department, and how should clinicians approach a patient who returns soon after being discharged?

In a week when the presidential election dominated national media, we focused in on healthcare and disabilities here on Galway Talks. We started off the week by hearing the story of Siobhán Cunningham. Her TikTok went viral when she posted outside A&E. The Loughrea woman had to sit back in her car because there was absolutely no room for her to sit down in the waiting room. She talked us through her journey of misdiagnosis, long waits in A&E, and also a lack of step-down support and care plans. Siobhán got a huge reaction from our listeners, who told their own stories of their own difficulties in A&E. We also focused in on mental health on the programme this week, when Wayne Murphy told us of his descent into despair. Wayne told us about how his brother's suicide triggered his own mental health crisis. He's now in recovery and is back out of the mental health support unit. He told us that he wants to be an inspiration to others to share their stories and speak out when they too are going through times of despair. Now, medical negligence was very much to the fore at the beginning of the week, as it was reported by the Irish Hospital Consultants Association that over €5.3 billion of the health budget goes towards the area. Money well spent from the patient's point of view but could it be used to invest in under pressure healthcare services? We debated that with Johan Verbruggen, Head of Medical Negligence with Fieldfisher.
In this powerful episode of Witnesses, Amb. Elisha sits down with Reasa Selph, a mother whose 11-year-old son Nicholas nearly lost his life due to medical negligence and sepsis.

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Dov Gebien for a deeply personal and raw conversation about addiction, stigma, and redemption within the medical profession. Dr. Gebien, an emergency physician, shares his courageous story of opioid addiction—tracing his journey from the initial dependency that crept in after multiple back surgeries, through the devastating fallout of withdrawal, arrest, and prison, to his eventual recovery and fight to reclaim both his medical license and sense of self.The episode explores the culture of medicine and the harsh judgment often faced by healthcare professionals struggling with substance use. Dr. Gebien opens up about the profound shame and isolation that accompany addiction, explaining how secrecy and fear of exposure perpetuate suffering. He discusses how his turning point came when he finally “came clean,” recounting the unexpected compassion from some colleagues, but also the widespread mistreatment and lack of understanding he encountered—especially compared to how the system treats those with alcohol use disorder or physical illness.Dr. Gebien and Dr. Bonta delve into how the medical system, historically complicit in the opioid crisis, continues to stigmatize opioid addiction in its ranks, and they candidly address the punitive versus rehabilitative paths offered to healthcare workers in crisis. Dr. Gebien reflects on how recovery transformed his approach to medicine, fostering empathy and changing the way he relates to patients facing addiction.Now a community physician, public speaker, and researcher with published work on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Dr. Gebien unpacks his reinvention and the ongoing challenges of regaining trust and credibility within his field. The episode is a powerful meditation on perseverance, accountability, and hope—the “hard-won kind” forged through adversity.Episode Highlights1. The Power of Honesty : Telling the truth about addiction, even when it's painful, is the starting point for recovery and lightens the emotional burden.2. Compassion Over Judgment : Healthcare needs more compassion and less stigma toward addiction—judgment only deepens isolation and suffering for both patients and clinicians.3. Addiction Knows No Boundaries : Opioid addiction can affect anyone—doctors, professionals, or neighbors—not just the stereotypical “skid row” population.4. Burnout Breeds Judgment : Compassion fatigue and harsh attitudes in emergency medicine can lead to diminished empathy for those with addiction struggles.5. Redefining Professional Redemption : Recovery and return to practice after addiction require perseverance, transparency, and a willingness to rebuild credibility from scratch.6. Forgiveness and Second Chances Reintegration into medicine is possible, but it demands humility, hard work, and meeting rigorous requirements to ensure public safety.7. Continuous Recovery Accountability Structured support systems—therapy groups, monitoring, and regular check-ins—are vital in maintaining long-term recovery and reducing relapse risk.8. Experience Builds Better Doctors Personal hardship, including addiction and recovery, can foster stronger empathy, better listening skills, and more effective patient care.Episode Timestamps3:32 – Resilient Hope Amid Adversity9:32 – Addiction's Story: A Broader Insight10:54 – Opioid Dependency Misunderstanding17:12 – Compassion in Addiction Treatment21:07 – Forgiveness and Reintegration in Healthcare23:39 – Challenges Reveal True Character27:13 – Recovery: Holistic Approaches Versus Cure29:38 – Expressing Myself Through Recovery33:20 – Challenges of Reintegration for Felons37:01 – Healthcare Workers' Untreated Disorders Insight39:10 – Diaphragm Cramp Research Breakthrough42:33 – Rediscovering Purpose in Medicine45:00 – Secrets, Addiction, and Consequences48:44 – Finding Hope After DisgraceDISCLAMER >>>>>> The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Former All Whites goalkeeper Jake Gleeson says he contemplated taking his life after prolonged surgeries turned into a battle for survival and forced his early retirement. In August 2018, while contracted to the Portland Timbers in the United States, Gleeson had surgery to treat stress fractures in both legs. It should have been a routine procedure, but he developed osteomyelitis from an infection. What followed was not only a physical struggle but an emotional descent that would push him to the brink. Fourteen surgeries later, and nearly five years after Gleeson began legal action, a jury found doctor Richard Edelson guilty of medical negligence for failing to properly disinfect the plates inserted into Gleeson's legs before the initial operation. Gleeson, now 34, was awarded US$20.4 million (NZ$35.7m) in damages. What was meant to be a three-month stint on the sidelines turned into a nightmare of medical complications and forced Gleeson to retire, having made 59 appearances for the Timbers and winning eight caps for the All Whites between 2011 and 2014. The fallout has been brutal for Gleeson, who struggles to complete mundane tasks such as exercising. The mental toll has been equally devastating. Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Jason Pine on Weekend Sport, Gleeson says he reached a point where he considered taking his life. “I'd been prescribed so many opioids, like painkillers and anti-anxiety medication, I filled this pill jar up with enough pills that I know that if I took it all at once it would kill me. “I drove out a few times to different places around Portland with that. I had that around me for ... a few months and there were some close calls where I thought that that was going to be the day. “There were points I just didn't want to live any more. Simple as that. “But I never went through with it, which I'm happy about. The last few years have been a slow climb out of a very deep, dark hole.” After his initial surgery, things appeared normal but, after two weeks, an infection on his right leg appeared. Antibiotics initially worked, but the infection worsened and he needed a second operation. At this point, pus was coming out of the wound and Gleeson was given a PICC line - a type of catheter - that was pumping antibiotics from his leg to an artery near the heart. It was a further two weeks before the plate in his right leg came out. Days later, problems began in his left leg. Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson shows his disappointment after the the 4-1 loss against Real Salt Lake in 2017. Photo / Getty Images “I saw that same redness, same warmth, same everything that was a sign of infection, and they pulled that plate out straight away. “Because I developed osteomyelitis in my right leg, essentially the infection had travelled through my blood and settled on the foreign hardware on my left leg. “If they had just removed the plate on the first surgery, or even checked the underside of it to know that that's where the infection was, we could have avoided a lot more of the surgeries that I went through.” Gleeson had another appointment with Edelson, who was pleased with the recovery of the left leg, but problems were still occurring with the right. Despite raising concerns, Gleeson was told “it's just bad blood flow, the wound will heal and you're fine”. An angry Gleeson consulted another team doctor and was immediately rushed to hospital, where he had three surgeries in five days to clear the osteomyelitis and dead bone. “They had to go in and chunk out parts of my bone and there was dead tissue in there,” he recalls. “My body had gone septic and I had a 40-degree temperature, cuddling a bag of ice on my couch with all this medicine still coursing through me every week.” It was at this point that he found out Edelson had not properly sanitised an orthopaedic plate, after realising he was missing one and bringing one in from an outside facility during the surgery. As Gleeson improved after working with a new doctor, he opted to have metal rods inserted into both legs in February 2019 in an effort to save his career. He had four more operations but the rod in his right leg became immediately infected. Three weeks later, doctors said the rods had to come out. In July 2020, Gleeson formally began legal action. Finally, on March 29, a Multnomah County jury in Portland agreed that Edelson had violated his duty of care and awarded NZ$35.7m to Gleeson. “This is the first step and, once again, a very long path,” says Gleeson. “I don't think it's sunk in yet. I'm very tired still. “The money is a bonus once we figure out what it all looks like, because I'm not currently sitting with a huge cheque in my account. “Once it settles and is confirmed, I've already started conversations with some local groups around here to highlight this, and I want to kind of utilise it also to bring attention to mental health, especially for athletes. “I would like to go somewhere nice with my fiancée and throw my phone in a lockbox somewhere and take a week to take some deep breaths and start to put this all behind us as we move forward with our lives.” He says the Timbers club was poorly managed at the time and “swept me under the rug”. The figures involved have since gone and he is excited about attending his first Timbers match since the ordeal later this month. He says he would do anything to be able to step onto the pitch one last time, but is looking forward to be involved again in the sport he loves, having initially walked away from it. He is also looking forward to seeing the All Whites in action at next year's World Cup, which is being co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. “I couldn't be more excited for the All Whites and the boys on the team that I know and all the young guns coming through. “They're an impressive bunch, so I'll be there supporting them for sure. Hopefully they can cause some upsets.” SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION Where to get help:• Lifeline: Call 0800 543 354 or text 4357 (HELP) (available 24/7)• Suicide Crisis Helpline: Call 0508 828 865 (0508 TAUTOKO) (available 24/7)• Youth services: (06) 3555 906• Youthline: Call 0800 376 633 or text 234• What's Up: Call 0800 942 8787 (11am to 11pm) or webchat (11am to 10.30pm)• Depression helpline: Call 0800 111 757 or text 4202 (available 24/7)• Helpline: Need to talk?

In this telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Dr. A. Gurava Reddy, the celebrated orthopedic surgeon and CEO of Sunshine Hospitals, for an in-depth conversation about modern healthcare, bone health, medical ethics, and personal life experiences. Dr. Reddy, known for his expertise in joint replacements and healthcare management, sheds light on the realities of being a doctor in today's world. With hospitals often depicted negatively in films, such as in the movie Tagore starring Chiranjeevi, Dr. Reddy offers his perspective on how such portrayals influence public perception and the challenges doctors face in gaining patients' trust. We also discuss whether hospitals like Sunshine have specific targets and how the healthcare system balances financial goals with quality patient care. Dr. Reddy addresses pressing topics like how “sitting is the new smoking,” explaining the dangers of prolonged sitting and improper posture. He shares practical tips on choosing the right pillow and chair to maintain a healthy posture. The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore whether it's better to sleep on a mattress or directly on the floor, and the pros and cons of each option. The episode offers valuable insights into sciatica and its impact, with Dr. Reddy detailing how severe back pain during pregnancy can be managed. He talks about the effects of the “relaxin hormone” on women's bodies during pregnancy and suggests ways to provide relief for expecting mothers. Another major topic we touch upon is the harmful impact of smoking on bone health, as Dr. Reddy explains how smoking, soda consumption, and excessive caffeine intake contribute to osteoporosis by making bones brittle. He emphasizes the importance of weight-bearing exercises and a diet rich in cheese, fish, nuts, mushrooms, fortified cereals, and tofu to maintain healthy bones. We further delve into the credibility of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections for knee pain. Are these treatments a genuine breakthrough or just another scam? Dr. Reddy offers his candid opinion on PRP and similar treatments, cautioning viewers about the deceptive practices of some doctors who exploit vulnerable patients. Our discussion also covers the controversial topic of high heels, evaluating whether they are detrimental to long-term health and how often they can be worn without adverse effects. The conversation highlights the challenges of finding reliable doctors in today's digital age, where misinformation is rampant on social media. Dr. Reddy reflects on why India lacks a robust system to rate doctors like the US, and he discusses the ethical concerns around fake doctors performing unnecessary surgeries on rural patients to benefit from Arogya Shree funds. He also shares his thoughts on medical negligence and explains the difference between complications and malpractice, providing insight into how insurance and consumer forums help protect both doctors and patients. Dr. Reddy addresses the rising issue of lower back pain among teenagers, attributing it to a lack of playgrounds, ventilation, and physical exercise in schools. We discuss his perspective on trauma management, the importance of hip replacements, and the increased frequency of joint pain post-COVID, which has puzzled both doctors and patients. On a personal note, Dr. Reddy opens up about his work with the Sarvejana Foundation and the STOP initiative for accident prevention. He shares how these social causes are funded and how he manages to balance his time between his professional and philanthropic work. The conversation also touches on the physical toll of bad roads, which Dr. Reddy believes contribute significantly to back and joint pain. This podcast provides a holistic view of healthcare, medical ethics, and personal growth. Dr. Gurava Reddy's candid answers and practical advice on topics like bone health, posture, medical scams, and mental wellness offer invaluable takeaways.

Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News
Send us a textWhat would you do if your child died as a result of medical negligence and doctors and the police colluded to cover it up? That's what happened in the case of ten-year-old Robbie Powell.His parents are campaigning for all healthcare professionals to be legally obligated to tell the truth following a negligent death. They're supported by the former Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman Sir Rob Behrens CBE says: "Mr Powell was personally traduced by doctors, by regulators by the police service, by the Crown Prosecution Service, by politicians in a way which is just unacceptable. He was patronised and he never gave up." Robbie died from Addison's Disease. He could have been saved if doctors had carried out the necessary tests and informed the family of the risks. Instead, numerous medics failed him and spent 30 years covering it up.In this podcast Robbie's father Will Powell and Sir Rob Behrens join me to discuss the Powell family's relentless pursuit of truth and justice and the systemic failures that have deprived his family of justice for more than 30 years.

Today, we look at Rishi Sunak's claim that the election would be a choice “between past and future”, as Labour accused him of rebranding again. In a wide-ranging speech, the PM said that Keir Starmer would make the UK less safe and that the Tories are “the only party really talking about the future.” But Labour responded by claiming this was Rishi Sunak's “7th reset” during his time in office. Are the battlegrounds for the election being drawn? Adam is joined by Chris who questioned Sunak after the speech. And the Birth Trauma Inquiry was presented to parliament, finding that there was “shockingly poor services” in maternity care. It contained harrowing evidence of medical negligence from more than 1,300 women.

We've all heard the stories of doctors who cause harm to patients by systematically performing medically unnecessary procedures, just to line their own pockets. These circumstances rise to a level beyond ordinary medical negligence to fraud or criminal acts. However, when we litigate individual medical malpractice cases, the rules of discovery and evidence can pose barriers that make it difficult to determine whether a client's experience reflects a larger pattern and practice by the doctor and the medical business. Join us for our discussion with Washington, DC trial lawyer, Katie Bertram, as she tells the story of a case in which she was able to show this larger pattern of a doctor performing medically unnecessary medical procedures in an out-patient surgery center setting that provides very few checks and balances on this type of rogue behavior. About Catherine "Katie" Bertram Website: https://www.blg-dc.com/ Catherine D. “Katie” Bertram started the Bertram & Murphy, building on decades of experience as both a medical malpractice attorney and director of risk management at Georgetown University Hospital. In those environments, she learned how doctors and hospitals work, as well as how their attorneys assess claims against them. She draws on this knowledge to advocate for patients and their families. “People want someone who's competent, caring, and careful. They've just gone through the worst thing in their lives and been betrayed by doctors or a hospital — people that we're supposed to trust,” she said. “I can set forth what happened and why it was negligent.” Bertram graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Bachelor of Social Work. While accompanying a social worker to court one day, she found her true passion—the law. “The minute I walked into court, I knew that's what I should be doing,” she said. She obtained her law degree from the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., in 1989, becoming the first lawyer in her family. The faculty nominated her as Woman Law Student of the Year. Bertram focuses on personal injury and medical malpractice in part because her mother is a nurse. “It allows me to combine the law and medicine,” she said. “I enjoy talking to juries and teaching them about complicated medical cases in an easier way.” Bertram has achieved several distinctions throughout her career. She is one of 20 people serving on the D.C. Bar's Board of Governors and also is a board member of the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, which finds lawyers to meet the legal needs of D.C.'s low-income residents, nonprofits, and small businesses. She's been an adjunct law professor at American University's Washington College of Law since 2013, teaching a course about medical malpractice. Among her charitable work, she is an active supporter of Public Citizen, the nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, and a founding member of the Washington, D.C., charity Power 100. She also sews quilts for military veterans through the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Licensed to practice in Washington, D.C., and in Maryland, Bertram has a notable record of favorable verdicts. In 2017, she won $8 million on behalf of her clients against Edward Dunne, M.D., and Foxhall Urology, and in 2018, she won a $1.25 million verdict against Capital Women's Care and others for negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress. But even though she and her firm have a strong track record, she and Heather J. Kelly also work hard to settle cases in their clients' best interests. If they're able to reach a settlement before formally filing the case, they'll lower their fees. A third-generation Washingtonian, Bertram enjoys spending time with her family and on the Chesapeake Bay when not in court. She's proud of the individualized attention that the Bertram & Murphy provides. “I can limit the number of cases I take so I can work very hard on each case,” Bertram said. “We have the time and the creativity and the resources and the technology and the verdicts behind us like we're a big firm, but you don't deal with layers and layers of people. You're getting the A team.”

Today we're talking medical gaslighting examples, because what I learned this week is that gaslighting is a 2022 word of the year! That's right!

Do they minimize your symptoms or act like they're not important? Do they question the amount of pain that you say you have? Do they refuse to order labs or other testing to confirm or rule out a diagnosis that you might have? Are they condescending to you or do they make you feel like you're stupid?
