The Charted Defense Podcast

Welcome to The Charted Defense Podcast — where medicine meets the law.

I’m Michael Coleman, MD, a practicing physician and hospital medicine leader, sharing practical lessons from real-world malpractice themes, sepsis workflow failures, abnormal-result follow-up misses, and documentation breakdowns that put patients and clinicians at risk.

Each episode turns complex medical-legal issues into clear, actionable takeaways for physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and healthcare leaders. You’ll hear case-based analysis, system-level risk management strategies, and communication frameworks you can apply immediately in clinical practice.
