From Sirens to Subpoenas: Navigating a Deposition Without Turning It Into a Disaster

In our litigious society, lawsuits against EMS providers and medical directors are a matter of when, not if. Nick Adams and Samantha Johnson will review and discuss a real medicolegal case where EMS documentation (or lack thereof) was central to the outcome of the case. The discrepancies may have impacted the patient’s care, and certainly impacted the ability to defend the EMS providers in the resulting lawsuit. Adams and Johnson provide a demonstration of deposition questioning in a real case, discuss the importance of documentation in the successful defense of a lawsuit, and provide guidance on surviving your deposition as a provider.
