“I think I was too ashamed and too embarrassed to do that (use support groups), but, I would encourage people as much as you can work through that, if that’s what your experience, to, to get the support to, to rely on people to help you through this.”
MGH RN Defendant
A surgical ICU registered nurse at MGH was sued in a case involving an air embolism resulting in neurological damage to a patient. Her case took 7 years to resolve. This defendant found it extremely difficult hearing the allegations of negligence. She didn’t ask for, or accept help, but in retrospect wishes she had. As time has passed, she now realizes that this event doesn’t define her as a nurse.
Coverage Includes Support Services
Emotional and psychological support services for insured defendants are a benefit offered by CRICO. These services can involve one-on-one consultation meetings with a professional. We also offer access to peer support and additional online services.
