Dr Ninakhulu Ntsanwisi is a medical doctor and admitted attorney who now runs her own consultancy in the medico-legal space, helping doctors and healthcare facilities identify and mitigate risk before it turns into litigation. In the latest episode of Why Did I Become a Doctor – which MedicalBrief readers have early access to – listen to how being forced to perform a Caesarean section she wasn’t at the time qualified to do started Ntsanwisi’s journey into the medico-legal field. She unpacks what doctors get wrong about the Health Professions Council of SA, why she believes most patients sue for answers and accountability rather than money, why specialists get sued more often than GPs, and why communication remains the single best protection a clinician has.
