Doctors and Litigation: The L WordBeyond Blame: Richard Boothman and a Transformative Approach to Adverse EventsIf you’ve ever felt frustrated by the fear-driven legal landscape of medicine, this conversation will change the way you think about liability and the future of patient safety.
In this episode, Dr. Pensa sits down with trailblazer Richard Boothman, JD, a pioneer in patient safety and transparency, to discuss how the traditional "deny and defend" approach has failed both doctors and patients. We discuss the "Michigan Model," how it came to be, how it works, and how new CMS and ACGME changes may make it our new normal.
Stick around to the end, because Ric...2025-02-1653 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordLEAP: Litigation Education and PerformanceThe first LEAP (Litigation Education and Performance) Course for Clinicians will run from March 17th through June 2nd, 2025.
This is a hybrid online course, 1 h/week self paced videos and 6 live virtual review and Q&A sessions with Dr. Pensa, one of which will be an Ask-a-Lawyer segment with a seasoned defense attorney.

Dr. Pensa and Dr. Cohen discuss real cases Dr. Cohen participated in as an expert, and their legal outcomes. We also emphasize the unfortunate reality that we (and licensing boards, and society)should not use adverse jury verdicts and legal outcomes alone to infer whether someone's medical care was reasonable.

2024-12-2937 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordThe All-Important JuryPhysicians and other clinician defendants whose cases go to trial (roughly 8-10% of malpractice cases) usually have little understanding of the legal events and strategies involved, which naturally amplifies their anxiety. Today on the podcast, we'll continue to address these knowledge deficits.
Decisions made about how cases proceed are usually made by considering how the 'optics' of a given case will look to a hypothetical jury -- but when trial begins, at jury selection and the voir dire, that once-hypothetical jury will be come real flesh and blood laypeople, who have their own ideas, perspectives, biases, likes an...2024-09-2942 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordStrategic Communication in LitigationIn this episode, Dr. Pensa discusses 'strategic communication' in litigation with expert Matt Abrahams.
Matt teaches strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business and hosts the podcast, "Think Fast, Talk Smart." He's also the author of the books "Think Faster, Talk Smarter" and "Speaking Out Without Freaking Out: 50 Techniques for Confident, Calm and Competent Presenting."
We talk about the importance of communicating strategically in any setting, including the artificial settings of deposition and trial. We discuss, among other things, anxiety management, the importance of preparation and structure, and communicating with empathy, clarity, and brevity.2024-08-2534 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordA World of Hurt
"A World of Hurt: How Medical Malpractice Fails Everyone" is a new documentary produced by Emmy-nominated physician-filmmaker Dr. Mark Brady and two medical students, Alex Homer and Viknesh Kasthuri. After a year of private screenings and film festivals, this powerful piece was recently picked up by PBS after winning multiple awards. It is now free to watch online (links below).
In under 27 minutes, this short documentary tells three stories: a plaintiff whose sister dies after a medical error; a physician whose life is decimated by a malpractice allegation; and a couple whose baby dies in t...2024-07-1826 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordMedical Board Complaints and InvestigationsMedical Boards (or state Departments of Licensure and Discipline) are charged with keeping the public safe from unskilled, impaired, or unscrupulous doctors (or other licensed clinicians, each of which has their own board). While this is an important and necessary role, it is also not uncommon for well-meaning or "innocent" doctors to become the subject of investigations due to complaints from patients, other doctors (including competitors), or from the Board itself. Malpractice litigation or adverse event reporting may also trigger Board investigations as well.
This process is usually opaque, and clinicians have a poor understanding of how...2024-05-0748 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordHelp ResistanceThis month, we're exploring the topic of 'help-resistance' in physicians. Why do we acknowledge the need to maintain and optimize the health of our bodies, but scoff at doing the same for our minds or mental well-being? Why do support programs flounder from lack of participation? Why is the notion of even 'self-help' so foreign and...icky?
In this 'listicast', Dr. Pensa explores the top ten(ish) reasons for help-resistance in physicians. This has practical implications as to why physicians often do not access support programs, and why they may resist external or even self-help instruction.
2024-04-0427 minDoctors and Litigation: The L WordThe EMR Audit Trail: Friend and FoeIn this first episode of Season 2, Dr. Pensa talks with attorney Saira Pasha, an EMR audit trail expert. What else besides the words in your chart does your electronic medical record track? Are 'secure messages' discoverable? (Spoiler: yes, they can be!) How can an audit trail help your case -- or hurt it? How does an audit trail expert 'read between the lines' of who's looking at what entries in the record, and when, and for how long?
Take home points:
The EMR creates a trail that tracks not only your substantive words on the chart, b...2024-03-0929 min

Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 165, Dissolving the Walls Within and Between UsThis episode is a deepening of an exploration of the walls between us that host Christine Pensa did in episode 127. It’s an invitation to notice where and how you have been creating metaphorical and real walls within yourself—to notice where you have been following paths and practices that are not truly who you are NOW. We’ve been in warrior mode for some time now and it’s time to relearn and remember from where that polarity sprung—and to turn those warrior tools into the precision instruments they have been waiting to transform into....2023-02-0940 min

Many of us are coming to the edge of the place of not knowing what to do. It can be perplexing and we can feel uneasy. What if we could allow ourselves to be in that place without fixing it?

The idea was that when a person came to a shaman seeking help for dis-ease or in despair, the shaman would pose four questions to bring the person back into ease. The Fourth question is; WHEN did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of SILENCE? Expanding upon the question, the seeker was invited to explore where they had mistrusted or ignored the mystery of their own being.
