The Worst Thing You Can Do as a Doctor? Not Documenting

Relying on memory or paper logs is not enough.If there’s ever a dispute, you need a time-stamped digital record that proves the visit occurred.

2. Performing any procedure without patient consent

Even minor procedures require formal consent — especially in a legal context.

The patient’s signature is your first line of defense.Without it? You’re exposed.

3. Relying on printed papers or casual communication

Paper forms can be lost, damaged, or denied.Screenshots from WhatsApp are not legally reliable.But an electronic platform records, stores, and protects every step.

4. No timeline of what was sent, when, or by whom

If you can’t prove when a consent form was sent or signed,you may not be able to defend the sequence of actions.
