Every medmal case is unique... but some are extra unique.
A scheduled med was misread as PRN.
Patient kept refusing, nurse didn’t clarify, provider wasn’t told.
Bad outcome followed.
Lesson?
Communication matters. Orders and MARs don’t always match.
Always double check.

Medical malpractice is a team sport. Providers rely on each other’s info...small errors compound.
Even All-Star teams make big mistakes this way.
Trust your colleagues, but always verify.
“Too busy to verify” won’t help in court when those small missteps turn into serious harm.

Boarding admitted patients in the ED isn’t just inefficient...it’s deadly.
Just reviewed another preventable death tied to 12+ hrs of ED boarding.
Vitals declined, no one noticed.
It's not "crazy" down there in the ED... it's lethal.

Tried a bunch of AI tools for med mal case review. I want them to work... flat fee means efficiency = $$$. But so far? Nope. Too many errors, not enough nuance. Stakes are high, and the tech isn’t there yet. AI helps me make mistakes faster… tequila is a close second.

Just because you can make a case doesn’t mean you should.
If causation needs a 10-step flowchart to explain, it’s probably too complex to win.
Simple = strong. Complicated = risky.
Even seasoned attorneys know when to walk away.

Don’t just read the radiology report—look at the images. Subtle but critical findings can be missed. This applies to treating providers and expert reviewers alike. It only takes a few minutes and can make all the difference.

A gully washer, as they say in southwest Missouri.
After the heavy rains, nature clears out the clutter.
A reminder: let the debris wash away, make room for new growth, and take a moment for self-care.
Nature resets. So can we.

Medical expert witnesses: want more cases? Here’s unsolicited advice: answer fast (same day!), have your CV/fees ready, be kind and transparent, and communicate directly. These basics put you way up on the “good experts” list!

Shortening depositions is one reason I built Expert Retainer. No endless questions about how the expert got connected to the case—just one line: “We were connected through Expert Retainer.” Free to experts. No ads. No middlemen. That’s how expert witness matching should work!

Almost missed it, but then it jumped off the screen: a prescription for an OTC med that interacted with another drug the patient was on. Deadly mistake. It’s a reminder: know your interactions and don’t click through EHR pop-ups.

Does every medical malpractice case need the “best expert”? Not necessarily. Sometimes a top-credentialed expert matters, but often you just need someone who’s qualified, relatable, available, and experienced in the “real world.” The “best” expert isn’t always the flashiest CV.

Shared decision-making isn’t just a checkbox... it’s real. Boilerplate templates don’t save you when outcomes go wrong. Document specifics... what was discussed... why the patient chose a different path... questions and answers. Skip the fluff, capture the real talk.

No matter how bad the care or how angry the patient is—if there are no damages, there's no case. It's the hardest concept for families to accept, but it's fundamental to med mal law: no harm, no legal remedy.

“Tag, you're it!” isn’t enough when the stakes are high.
A referral for a possible malignancy? The loop must be closed. Too often, patients get lost between emails, orders, and missed calls.

A med mal case is like bourbon—it needs time to mature.
Jump in too early and evolving damages can wreck your strategy.

Standard order sets help avoid missed steps—until they cause one.
Patients aren’t “standard.”
One post-op case missed a critical, documented medication because the surgeon stuck to defaults.
The patient died.
Use order sets wisely, and never replace clinical judgment.

Physicians: delete your “standard physical exam” templates.
If you didn’t do a full neuro exam or assess gait on an obvious ankle fracture, don’t chart it. Inaccurate macros hurt your credibility—especially in court. Document exactly what you do. Nothing more, nothing less.
