2026, issue 35
In 2018, two doctors recalled their experiences of receiving a clinical negligence claim and explained how the MDU's support made all the difference during testing times.
The claim also turned me into a doctor that I didn't want to be. I found myself practising more defensively and tended to think the worst in any given situation.
It's important to try to keep things in perspective: I kept saying to myself that I try and help hundreds of patients each year and have done for 35 years - a single claim doesn't suddenly make me a bad doctor.
