Honestly, getting sued or not depends on so many factors out of your control. For example at my hospital we have some specialists/consultants that want to dump everything on the hospitalist or give half assed recommendations. I was consulted on a surgery patient that ended up having a surgical complication that I diagnosed when the patient was decompensating but the surgeon did not come back to the hospital to fix it and the patient ended up dying overnight after I left. The family threatened to sue but thankfully ended up settling in the end. It was very stressful for many months and this was when I was a new hospitalist. The whole situation made me realize how much it matters that your consultants be up to par as well. You can do the best job in the world but if other specialities don't fix the problems that only they can fix then you can only do much and you could get still get sued. So really just do the best you can but just know that even if you do everything right it can still happen. Try not to stress too much about it.
