title: Office malpractice pitfalls.
abstract: Familiarity with and adherence to the above principles may not make you claim or judgment proof, but they should improve patient care in your office and decrease your exposure to medico-legal interventions. Always bear in mind that medical practice is not a right conferred upon you by virtue of your medical degree, but rather a privilege granted you by state statute and licensure.
