Case Closed: Physicians in a Hurry Volume 1

1 Medical Ethics and/or Professional Responsibility
Release Date: November 19, 2025 Expiration Date:November 19, 2028
The following closed claim studies are based on actual malpractice claims from Texas Medical Liability. These cases illustrate how action or inaction on the part of physicians led to allegations of professional liability, and how risk management techniques may have either prevented the outcome or increased the physician’s defensibility. An attempt has been made to make the material less easy to identify. If you recognize your own case, please be assured it is presented solely to emphasize the issues presented.
Consultant opinions regarding the clinical care delivered in these cases reflect recommendations at the time the incident occurred. In some cases, clinical guidelines may have changed, but the claim review presents a snapshot of what transpired during treatment.
Please note that this CME activity does not meet TMLT's discount criteria. Physicians completing this CME activity will not receive a premium discount.
