Dealing with isolation, shame, and anger during and after a trial

Professor DeMaso talks about clinician support for doctors involved in cases of litigation as well as other issues. He describes the impact of litigation and adverse events on doctors and the resources that can be used to support doctors through this process. Peer support and cognitive behavioural therapy are two very useful ways to help support doctors.
