Send us a text

On this episode of Inside Medical Malpractice, Chris Rokosh sits down with U.S. attorney and nationally recognized thought leader Kyle Sweet, JD, to explore one of the most powerful tools in reducing both harm and liability: ethical, effective communication. With decades of experience guiding healthcare systems through litigation, risk management, and patient safety challenges, Kyle shares how openness and transparency can transform outcomes for patients, families, and providers alike. We’ll discuss his collaboration with Leilani Schweitzer on the groundbreaking Certified Medical Harm Communicator (CMHC) course, designed to equip healthcare professionals with the skills to respond to adverse events with compassion and accountability — while also easing the fear and stress providers themselves carry after medical errors. This episode shines a light on how talking and listening can rebuild trust, promote healing on all sides, and reshape the culture of ‘deny and defend’ in medicine and malpractice law. This is a great episode to share with every lawyer and healthcare provider you know!
