Did you know podiatrists under investigation perform at 45-55% of their capacity? And are you aware that your consent form does not immediately protect you? In part two, Dr Cam Wareham digs deeper into the medico-legal aspects of practice, how it can affect you professionally and steps you should take to avoid being sued. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The problem with sticking with treatment modalities that don't work. 
• Delayed Suffering.
• What do you do if there is a payout and you've been found responsible?
• The emotional rollercoaster.
• How to psychologically survive. 
• Note taking the right way, so the patient fully understands what treatment you are undertaking and the full extent of complications. 
• Why a consent form is not good enough? 
• The dispute resolution process. 
• Vicarious Liability and why employers need to have standard operating procedures.
