Ep77: Board Complaints and the Fear of Being Sued

In the United States, it’s pretty common for veterinarians to be aware of the legal ramifications of their actions. And while we all know there is a line between what is considered malpractice and what is not, many of us still struggle with the fear of potential legal recourse, and this can affect how we show up for our patients, clients, and for ourselves.

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on how to recognize and overcome the fears we have so that we can be the best version of ourselves at work. In order for us to advocate truthfully for our patients and to practice medicine to the best of our ability, we need to take care of ourselves and confront our anxieties around “if things go wrong”.

We’ll explore the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary fears, and you’ll learn how to overcome each one, so that you can stay mentally, emotionally and physically healthy, no matter what you’re faced with. 

 

In Today’s Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The different types of fears
• How to manage them
• My advice for veterinarians either experiencing, or fearful of, a board complaint or other legal recourse
