As they delve into the conversation, you’ll hear three real-life examples of OMS sedation cases gone wrong, including the tragic story of six-year-old Caleb Sears.

We’re back with more exciting case reviews filled with many valuable lessons and this time, we explore cases that almost ended in disaster for the doctors involved. We are joined again by Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. David Salomon – currently practicing at Yale New Haven Hospital, Connecticut – who begins by sharing his thoughts on our first case in review involving an accidental violation of the Hippocratic Oath. Then, we discuss a patient with hypertension who seized mid-operation, why leading with empathy is the foundation for avoiding possible lawsuits, the role of vulnerability between doctors and patients, and how two wrongs never make a right. We end with an extraction gone wrong for an 18-year-old high school softball player, communication and other referral problems that exist across the industry, fail-safes to improve referral protocols, how to address minor patients who feel they’ve been wronged, and why we need to implement more timeouts as standard practice. As a bonus final act, doctors Salomon and Stucki reminisce on when Dr. Salomon saved Dr. Stucki’s life. Key Points From This Episode: An unfortunate and accidental breach of privacy. The best practices for doctors engaging with patients online, especially on public platforms. Unpacking the malpractice case of a patient who had a seizure on the operating table. How to make amends when things go wrong, and the importance of leading with empathy. Why vulnerability matters, and how to avoid adding fuel to the fire. How a wrongful extraction highlights some of the key issues doctors face with referrals. What practitioners can do to ensure referrals receive the same care as self-referrals. The ins and outs of timeouts and their undeniable importance. How Dr. Salomon intervened in Dr. Stucki’s near-fatal encounter!
