  • What an excellent podcast to help us physicians better understand the anatomy of a malpractice suit to only become better doctors and avoid unnecessary defensive medicine but to also deliver better care for our patients.

  • Great content!

    Content is well researched, easy to follow, and thematically grouped, making this a terrific resource. As others have mentioned, the loud background music is distracting and sometimes competes with guest or host audio.

  • Effective, Important, and SO Interesting

    Every episode is amazing and every single word so important, for all people, not only physicians - although it should be required in medical school for all future docs. Dr Pensa actually accomplishes her goal, which seems impossible- to empower us physicians, prepare us, and teach us how to play the “game”, and also makes it easy. This is the messaging we need more of in all walks of life, and just the support and validation from hearing about so many amazing accomplished people does so much to... more

  • Great podcast, most recent episode really nailed it

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since it started. Season 2 has been full of useful information. I just finished episode 10 of season 2. I don’t know if we ED doctors recognize how difficult our job really is. We often normalize the pain we’re exposed to that is far from the normal experience of most people. This episode really highlights how important our mental health is and the best time to strengthen it is not during a crisis but before. I’ve shared this episode with all my doctor friend ... more

  • Very Informative

    I have learned so much useful information from Dr. Pensa and her guests. The topics are relevant and very well presented. It is so vital for docs to arm themselves with as much medico legal knowledge as possible and to learn about the system that most of us will be involved with at some point in our careers.
