18: Complications: When Right Goes Left

Life, Love, and Leadership for Physicians

Have you ever experienced a medical complication that left you stressed or questioning your career as a physician? When we talk about complications, it's typically in terms of how to prevent and manage complications or address them with patients and their families. However, we rarely acknowledge how these complications impact us emotionally as physicians.

Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

1. Understand how complications lead to physical and emotional distress and how we can navigate through it
2. Learn how this trauma can lead to PTSD and second-victim syndrome
3. Explore the emotional effects of litigation, how to deal with a lawsuit, and why pre-ops are vital
