Open Mentorship Session 8 October

The esteemed Dr Edeling's reflections on Mediation within the scope of Medical Malpractice.


Does Rule 41A empower the injured party to reframe how we approach harm, accountability, and healing?


•     Ethical Engagement: Mediation allows space for acknowledgment of harm, apology, and restoration that is often absent in litigation.
•     Narrative Justice: Patients and practitioners can share their stories, fostering understanding beyond clinical facts.
•     Power Dynamics: Mediation can rebalance the asymmetry between institutions and individuals, especially in cases of systemic failure.
•     Training Implications: Mediators in this space must be trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent, and skilled in reality testing.
