Do you have any control or influence over hospital policy, i.e. can you make suggestions for improvements to help staff avoid lawsuits in the first place? The only reason I ask is I read a study a few years ago where surgeons had to follow a checklist before and during the surgery (much like pilots do) and death rates were cut in half: http://content.time.com/time/health/arti...59,00.html
It strikes me that such a simple policy could not only save lives but also reduce the number of lawsuits from families.
