Doctor, You've Been Served (Not in a Dance-Off), Part 2, with Gita Pensa, MD

Published: Aug. 27, 2020, 3:31 p.m.

This is part 2 of 2 of my discussion with Dr. Gita Pensa, emergency medicine physician and host of the educational podcast, "Doctors and Litigation: The L Word", a narrative-style series about psychological and practical preparation for malpractice litigation.\xa0 We continue the discussion about how deposition is an audition for the trial and how important it is the play the part of the doctor everyone would want, not an arrogant physician who feels they know the medicine better than everyone.\xa0 At trial, your goal is the be the caring, compassionate, knowledgeable doctor that the jury would want as their doctor. And what in the world does dancing have to do with her trial? We also discussed how this influenced her practice and how she got back to loving medicine again.
