Am I being investigated?

Published

A couple months ago, I was involved in a case with a bad outcome. I'm now supposed to go in to the quality control directors office and have a phone conversation with the RN investigator hired by the hospital (to review the case). Does this sound typical? I'm of course worried that they're investigating me, and I should be worried about my job...

Specializes in OB.

As of now, there has been no legal action taken, and it sounds like the family isn't planning on it. Obviously that can change. I think it's being done via phone because we're on opposite coasts...

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PACU.

This is someone the hospital hired? And it is so sad that we have to worry about the future and litigation for so many years in our areas. Hang in there.

Somethings up and it sounds like they are fishing. Call your insurance carrier now and ask them what exactly you should do. I am of the opinion you should have legal representation with you.

Agree with this. Always best to protect oneself. You can bet the other parties are not concerned with your best interests.
