#218 Workers' Compensation with Greg Spinda

Ever found yourself staring at a workers' compensation or insurance form, pen in hand, quietly wondering what on earth you're supposed to write in half these boxes? You're in good company. Most of us learned this stuff the same way, watching someone else do it, nodding along, and then absolutely winging it the moment we were left alone with a patient and a certificate to fill in. Yes, we know, workers' compensation and insurance sounds about as thrilling as a mandatory compliance training video. But stick with us.  Dr Rob Park sits down with Greg Spinda, specialist personal injury lawyer and, as it turns out, not nearly as terrifying as his credentials suggest, to work through real GP scenarios, tackle those form boxes that have been quietly haunting us, and explore how getting the details right from day one can make an enormous difference to your patients' outcomes. You might just walk away feeling like you finally know what you're doing. ...
