What if he OD'ed the next day and the nurses notes said he was visibly impaired (and of course, they would)? c'mon. I could make big bucks being an expert witness against you but I'm enjoying retirement. LOL! If he OD'd the next day, that's not my responsibility. You're just making stuff up now.

You're just making stuff up now. Wrong. You saw him impaired and you did nothing. You are culpable. Have you ever been to a malpractice trial or deposition? Litigator's would jump at this case like a dog in heat. Your insurance company would likely settle. Where's our lawyers? Weigh in please.

No lawyer would take that case. You didn't check him for it. He may well have had an already dangerous level of any combination of drugs in him. If you haven't been sued (and you're a real doctor) you soon will be. And I feel very sorry for your patients. Forget the EKG's. Let's discuss toxicology.

I'm sure you were sued A drug screen will tell you he's a likely addict who is compensating for some hole in his soul. 35 years in practice, was sued X2. . Once as a consultant to a surgeon who f'ed up and once covering for a partner on call who f'ed up. Won both. The surgeon case, the family thanked me at the deposition for being there and telling the truth. Like I had any choice. Sorry, I forgot the case in residency where I ran the code on an invasive radiologist that missed a lunf=g lesion and hit the heart of a 40 something. I was dropped there as well. bad stuff happens. Sometimes it's no ones fault. Edited January 14, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) This is ridiculous!

I have those but they only go so far. I'll await the first time I'm sued for not seeing a hole in someone's heart. But I'm interested in hearing from the lawyers about how good a case this would be.
