Medical professional liability insurance, more commonly known as malpractice insurance, is the most important insurance for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

It protects our ability to practice; it protects our livelihood.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:03:53] “Insurance, for me, is very simple. I insure things that I cannot afford to replace, and I cannot afford to replace my profession.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:04:08] “In a liability claim, the patient comes with a verbal story; we come with a written record. And as everybody knows in the legal arena, written is better than verbal.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:24:07] “We’re stronger together than individually – if we stay together, we can make a bigger impact.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:28:14] “There’s no way to really prevent a malpractice allegation – but we can recognize that it’s always a possibility and have strategies to mitigate or lessen the chances of that happening, or if it does happen, have the documentation prepared so it minimizes the impact of that allegation.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:28:37] “You have to be available for your patients, you have to be affable, and you have to be able. If you stick to that, then there’s a lower likelihood of a patient filing suit.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:29:17] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Dr. Anthony Spina on LinkedIn — linkedin.com/in/anthony-spina-b860893a/ Dr. Anthony Spina Email — aspina@me.com OMS National Insurance — omsnic.com Chicago Surgical Specialists — chicagosurgical.com/ MPL Association — mplassociation.org/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/ Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.com Dr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

Anesthesia is critical to surgical procedures, ensuring patients are comfortable and pain-free during operations. However, administering anesthesia is not without risks, especially for patients with underlying health conditions like aortic stenosis. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Rollins, Oral Surgeon at Falls Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, to explore some of his anesthesia near misses with patients. Learn about the basics of aortic stenosis, what the symptoms are, and how to identify it before administering anesthesia. Discover how to differentiate between aortic stenosis and Still’s murmur, why you need a high-quality stethoscope, and how to identify a diastolic murmur. We also delve into the process that follows after reliably identifying aortic stenosis, the pitfalls of relying completely on advisors for clearance, and the importance of maintaining a patient’s blood pressure while avoiding hypertension during anesthesia. Gain insight into other issues to consider before administering general anesthesia, the importance of asking questions, and more.

We often underestimate the importance of sleep and how “horror sleep” can negatively affect all aspects of our lives. One of the major hindrances to good sleep is airway complications, but maxillomandibular advancement surgical interventions may be the answer. To help us in our exploration of the impact of airway deficiency on temporomandibular disorders (TMD), we are joined today by the jaw and airway expert, Dr. Christian Andy Loetscher, DDS, MS. In this episode, Dr. Andy explains how a compromised airway leads to TMD complications, with technical examples of the exact causes of TMD. He also describes how regular deep sleep can eradicate most problems, how premolar removal is detrimental and the best practices for TMD treatments. You’ll learn about assessing and preparing patients for maxillomandibular advancement surgery, Dr. Andy’s process for these surgeries, and receive some helpful resources on the value and power of good sleep, plus a whole lot more!
