”I’m Sorry”: How Louisiana Law Protects Compassionate Expression

After an adverse event, patients look to their physician for empathy and an understanding of what happened. Physicians may defer this difficult conversation for fear of exposing themselves to a lawsuit. Indeed, legal advice in the past often supported a deny and defend stance. State apology laws were enacted to protect and promote statements of sympathy, but many do not protect statements of fault or explanations of the event, so physicians must be familiar with the details of their own state law. This activity seeks to provide the physician with the communication skills and resources to carry out this conversation.
