Best Practice Case Studies-Legal Game Plan

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Maggie Carlisle, General Counsel and Senior VP of the Lions, delivered a talk focused on providing legal tools to team physicians. With a practical approach, her "is it legal" framework was introduced to assist doctors in making sound legal decisions in the field, absent immediate legal counsel. This framework includes a three-pronged test: is it practical (doctor's advice), is it reasonable (lawyer's standard of care), and is it ethical (guided by moral intuition). Inspired by recent high-stakes legal cases involving sports doctors, Carlisle underscored the importance of understanding local laws, particularly Good Samaritan laws and medical standards of care. She encouraged having a trusted lawyer and reiterated the framework's alignment with providing good medical care. Finally, Carlisle reassured that adherence to this framework not only aids legal compliance but also enhances medical practice, while urging continued resourcefulness and consultation with legal professionals when necessary.
