Doctors who spend seven minutes or less with patients face about 80% more lawsuits than those spending twelve minutes or more. Dean Graziosi argues that rushed, transactional visits damage relationships, while a few extra minutes of real communication cuts legal risk dramatically.
We are in a world of rented attention, right? And your relationships are your lifeline. Did you ever see the study on what physicians, doctors, get sued more than others? You know what it is? Time. They looked at doctors who spent 7 minutes or less with their patients were like 80% more likely to get sued than the ones that spent 12 minutes or more. That was it. Why? One was a transactional relationship. And one was a personal relationship. Just a little more time, little more communication.
