Welcome to Anesthesiology Malpractice!

This newsletter helps anesthesiologists become better doctors and improve their understanding of medicolegal topics.

We publish real-life medical malpractice cases involving anesthesiologists every other week.

We’ll cover some of the wildest cases out there, from airway catastrophes, to obstetrical complications, intra-operative trauma resuscitations, colleagues diverting controlled substances, issues with CRNA supervision, conflicts with surgeons, and much more.

These aren’t just vague overviews about lawsuits - we publish the actual expert witness opinions used at trial.

The doctor’s lounge is rife with rumors and hearsay about anesthesiologists getting sued, but this newsletter brings the true stories of malpractice lawsuits straight to your inbox.

You’ll get actionable learning points and review common themes that will help reduce risk in your practice, whether you’re a general anesthesiologist or subspecialist.

Anesthesiology Malpractice is a collaborative effort between 2 practicing physicians: a board-certified anesthesiologist and the founder of the MedMalReviewer newsletter.

Making a small investment in your ongoing education could help reduce the risk that you get sued yourself.

You already know how to practice at high level and have seen nearly everything in your career… but you lack experience in one key area. Even those of us who are unlucky enough to get sued probably will only face one lawsuit in our career. Repetition is at the root of mastery, and reviewing dozens of malpractice lawsuits each year will close this gap in your education.

Seeing other anesthesiologists get deposed by cunning plaintiff’s attorneys will help you mentally prepare for their tricks so you can ace your own deposition.

Understanding when you should settle and when you should take a case to trial can help you avoid a rogue jury.

Seeing the verdict amounts, settlement offers, and insurance limits will help you avoid a catastrophic verdict that could threaten your personal assets.

Paying subscribers will get biweekly cases and bonus content.

Residents, fellows, and cheap attendings can subscribe for free and will get one case per month, as well as pay-walled previews of the rest of the cases.
