  • Who You Gonna Call?
    Jul 13 2026

    The Texas heat forced Dr. Kuba and Bethany into their cozy closet to record today’s important episode. Dr. Kuba throws two completely different scenarios to Bethany and puts her on the spot for advice. Both with the question - Who you gonna call? A patient receives services in your practice and then three weeks later gets admitted to the hospital with facial swelling. Should you self-report to the Board? In another scenario, a practice owner has an incredibly valuable employee that is looking at jail time. Should you intervene to help? Regardless of the scenario, it is critical to have the right people lined up to call when really weird and yet substantial scenarios hit your door.
