  • Title: Protect yourself from malpractice suits.
    Author: Minkin MJ.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2004 Mar; 81 Suppl 2():41-4; quiz 57-60. PubMed ID: 15126097.
    Abstract:
    There are many areas in the practice of gynecology that can lead to malpractice lawsuits for a practitioner who is not careful, even if he or she practices good medicine. Potential risks include failure to diagnose cancer, not following up with patients, failure to thoroughly check test results, and not keeping proper documentation. The cautious physician will attend to every problem that a patient presents, make sure that patients follow instructions, keep meticulous documentation, and always follow up to make sure his or her patient is progressing well.
