A constant source of fear and stress that plagues a physician’s workday is the constant threat of getting sued in our Barnum Bailey circus of American healthcare. It is because of this fear that CYA (Cover Your Ass) medicine is widely practiced which only drives up healthcare costs even higher. For you premeds out there, don’t think it can happen to you? Think again! The majority of physicians will find themselves sued at least once in their careers. After getting served papers and dealing with months or years of questioning one’s self worth or even struggling with thoughts of suicide, it’s time to go for the dreaded deposition. Ever wonder what it feels like to get deposed? Well, here is a taste of what to expect from such a surreal experience. This poor doc couldn’t have said it any better!

Just awful. I felt uncomfortable just watching. Dr. Watson is a good sport.
 
It is all about how you treat your patient.

when there are millions to be possibly won in the medical jackpot lotto, you'll see how well that line of thought works
 
After watching this and reading the CNN article, "Doctors Going Broke," I think I will put my MCAT books away for the night and go out for a drink. 😱
