Doctor & Physician Off-Duty Liability Insurance Coverage

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

“Is there a doctor in the building!?!?!?!” Now, it’s certainly understandable to believe that this question should be strictly relegated to the fictional realm of B movies and daytime soap operas. However, even in the real world, situations take place everyday where off-duty doctors are called upon to take swift action in the wake of an accident or emergency. As a doctor, it is in your nature to react. Even if you’re off duty, it becomes instinctual to help whoever possible, whenever possible. Sometimes things happen so quickly that there is no time to consider the legal ramifications of providing emergency medical care while off duty. Despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of people would be eternally grateful for whatever assistance you were able to provide them in a medical emergency, there is a select few who would hold you accountable if something were to go wrong, which is why you need to make sure you are properly covered with liability insurance.

Custom off-duty doctor liability insurance coverage plans are available to protect you from any litigation you could encounter for providing emergency medical care while off-duty. The plans can be tailored to specifically suit you, i.e. your specialty, neighborhood, vacation plans, etc. Malpractice suits are at an all-time high, and there’s no reason to believe that they pertain strictly to the operating room. Consider a custom off-duty doctor & physician liability plan, so you can be doctor wherever you are.

Liability Insurance for Doctors Volunteering in Foreign Countries

Monday, June 8th, 2009

“No good deed goes unpunished.” As a volunteer doctor traveling to a foreign country, it would be naive to dismiss this old saying as mere cynicism. Regardless of the selfless, compassionate merits of donating your time, resources, and medical expertise to aid those born under severely disadvantaged circumstances, it would be ill advised to leave before making absolutely sure that yourself and your livelihood are entirely protected. Foreign countries, particularly in the Third World, are full of people who could benefit tremendously from your assistance. However, providing medical care in these occasionally hostile environments can often be treacherous, with danger a legitimate possibility around every corner.

This is why volunteer doctors traveling to foreign countries, whether it’s strictly to a medical camp or religious as well, need to make sure they have the right liability insurance to protect themselves from undesirable situations. It would be inconceivable to diagnose an illness or perform even the smallest procedure in this country without comprehensive liability coverage, so why should overseas be any different? When you consider the meager conditions you will be working under, the limited resources that will be at your disposal, and the already poor health of the patients you will be caring for, it would be unwise to leave yourself any less protected. Custom liability coverage plans for volunteer doctors and other medical personnel are available to precisely suit the work you will be doing, in the country in which you will be providing care.
