Imagine dedicating your life to saving others, only to find yourself entangled in a relentless legal battle that stretches over a decade. For a doctor, a medical lawsuit is not just a professional challenge; it is a life-altering ordeal that casts a shadow over every aspect of their existence. Malpractice is also a fundamental cause of physician burnout

Today, we explore the remarkable 12-year journey of Dr. Gita Pensa, who faced a daunting $22 million lawsuit and triumphed twice—both in the initial trial and on appeal. Dr. Pensa’s story is one of resilience, strength, personal discovery and the struggle to maintain a sense of physician wellness along the way.

“I was a very different person for the second trial and I had practiced and prepared for that role as well. You never know the outcome when you go to trial. It's completely unpredictable, but I went in thinking I was as well-prepared as I could possibly have been for that role.” - Gita Pensa MD

Episode Highlights:

• The case that led to a 12-year legal ordeal 
• The personal impact of legal battles on physicians
