Be a good person. Most people who get sued have a horrible bedside manner,
are disingenuous with their patients, and are not responsive to their needs.
If you're honest with your patients, if you let them know all the risks and
benefits of anything you're going to do, and you do not give them
unrealistic expectations, and most importantly are available to your
patients then you significantly decreased of risk of getting sued.

Subject: Avoiding Malpractice suits
In what other ways can malpractice suits be avoided? I would hate to try
to help someone then they turn around and sue for something that was not
my fault. The patients should sign some sort of contract that informs
them that problems resulting from their failure to follow the doctor's
orders will releive the doctor(s) of responsiblity. I just don't think
it is fair that people do this and get away with it. There are laws
that protect patients, what laws protect physicians?
