I LOVED this film, which so accurately reflects its title.
From narration by Gita Pensa, M.D. (an expert in litigation stress in an informal teaching session with medical trainees), to poignant stories by two surviving patient families, who openly shared their experience, perceptions and feelings, to a deposition by defendant Dr. Matt Seaman who completed suicide after a licensure action based on a frivolous case, to Megan Ranney, a fellow emergency physician and medical school dean, to several experienced litigators, this story compassionately and completely unfolds the complexities in a way that is understandable to anyone.
The current system of medical malpractice adjudication indeed fails us all.
Kudos to Mark Brady, Viknesh Kasthuri and Alex Homer on this Epic piece which should be viewed and understood by all for the travesty this is.
This points to another crisis folded into the story - and yet not again directly addressed. The psychological needs of high risk high performance work. First responders, medical and physicians are the highest suicide rates. Yet those professionals are culturally dissuade from getting any counseling care.
That counseling would be by colleagues. Can a social worker turn to another social worker for help? Or would it be an echo chamber?
Does getting medical help damage credibility? This is a professional risk, the notorious stigma.
The insurer should provide the assistance needed for all concerned.
SELAH'S family. Just wow. 😢❤
Participants should familiarize themselves with the mindset of American law, adversarial process; requiring good faith.
if you make a major mistake at your job, it doesn't matter what that job is. you deserve to face accountability. the end. if you can't deal with accountability on the level of what physicians deal with, then don't become a physician. be an accountant or a chef. yes false accusations are terrible but frankly medical errors of all kinds outweigh that by so much it's disgusting to act like it makes patients rights less important.
Doctors pay insurance premiums but insurers dodge even the best of claims. Did the Doctor who committed suicide have mental health support?
I don't know. He was a good friend. I was supposed to hang out the next weekend. I could tell he was distressed.
