_________ Dr. Amna Shabir interviews Dr. Saba Fatima on the emotional struggles that come with medical malpractice cases. Drawing from her own experience, Dr. Fatima opens up about the feelings of isolation, shame, and anxiety that many doctors face especially since they’re often told not to talk about their cases. She explains why it’s so important to have open conversations to break the stigma and support each other.

Dr. Fatima also talks about the bigger problems in healthcare that push doctors toward defensive medicine and shares why building support systems is key. She encourages self-forgiveness and reminds doctors that mistakes can happen in a high-pressure field.

They also discussed ways to create safer work environments, foster a culture of fairness, and deal with the emotional impact of systemic failures. Dr. Fatima’s story and advice are all about building a supportive community where doctors can feel heard and focus on both their well-being and better patient care. Bio

About Succeed in Medicine

Was your training enough to handle everything physician life demands? From lawsuits to leadership, career decisions to challenging conversations, balancing the personal with the professional — not enough was addressed in medical school, residency or fellowship. This show fills those gaps so you can live up to the expectations that come with the white coat — not just in the exam room, but in all the places your MD follows you. Your host, Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice ENT, is right there with you — navigating the same challenges and bringing in world-class guests to teach, as he puts it, “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s cycle.” With nearly 500 episodes and close to half a million downloads, Brad has built a trusted space where physicians come for brass-tacks, immediately-applicable advice. You don’t need another certification. You need a podcast that covers personal finance, private practice, side-gigs, main-gigs, reacting to bad reviews, misinformation, social media, charting, parenting, communicating, negotiating, leading, managing, teaching, learning and what to do when someone yells, “Is there a doctor on board?”
