Litigation Stress
OHIC Insurance Company's parent company, The Doctors Company, has resources available on the website for dealing with the stress of depositions and litigation. If you follow this link: http://www.thedoctors.com/risk/general/litigationclaims/default.asp you will be directed to the Patient Safety/Risk Management area of the website. (And check out the picture here - yours truly Darrell Ranum!)
There is an article on "Coping with Depositions and Trials" as well as a "Physician Litigation Stress Resource Center." The Resource Center has information on "Traversing the Legal Process" as well as another article on "Coping with the Medical Malpractice Suit." These articles give an overview of the legal processes involved and provide coping strategies for dealing with the emotional issues.
