Any physician who has ever been served a malpractice claim knows how very frightening the experience can be. From that moment, you suffer enormous anxiety until, and even beyond, the ultimate resolution of your case. When a subpoena strikes, many people wish they had a lawyer in the family, but few are so fortunate. However, there is one way that every physician can be armed in advance for what is nowdays an almost inevitable experience: Get a map.

How to Survive a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit: The Doctor's Roadmap for Success (Wiley) by Dr. Ilene Brenner is one of the best books I have read on the subject. As a litigation stress specialist, I've read more than my share in this genre and put this volume in a class with the excellent, if under-utilized, Adverse Events, Stress and Litigation, by Sara Charles and Paul Frisch (Oxford, 2005). Both books have as principal authors, physicians who have been directly harmed by malpractice litigation. What distinguishes these two from others on the topic is that these authors have transcended the experience and are able to dispense a wealth of practical advice untainted by rancor.
Dr. Brenner is an EP and child of a med-mal defense attorney, so her writing reflects a lifetime of vicarious experiences. Dr. Charles, on the other hand, is a psychiatrist and well-known authority on the phenomenon of malpractice litigation stress. It's no surprise, then, that Brenner focuses on the practical approach to litigation while Charles attends more to physicians' emotional needs. Brenner does not ignore the psychology - with a degree in the subject herself she aptly devotes an entire chapter to the topic.

Brenner, M.D. with a forward by Mark Plaster, M.D., J.D., and Editor-in-Chief of Emergency Physician's Monthly covers our ongoing medical malpractice crisis in only 155 pages. Nothing is sacred! Nothing is left out! Even before we are sued for malpractice as ever-increasing numbers of us practicing physicians are, we are told to destroy our personal journals, to document cautiously, and to listen carefully in a sitting position to our patients.
