ABSTRACT

Be careful with problems or procedures that you have not encountered frequently or have not done in a long time. Plaintiff attorneys frequently ask (and will look for confirmation) how many times you have treated a certain

these questions with asking when you last treated the problem or performed the procedure. Therefore, providing medical care that is not routine for your practice not only constitutes increased legal liability but also creates increased medical liability because your skills and knowledge may not be as sharp as they once were or should be.
