Is this crazy or what

[Walkure]

Big difference in concept. How much of people's disdain for the legal system these days is founded on lies like the stories in the initial post, or media deliberately leaving out all the context necessary to explain a decision? Not that I don't think it could be much better.....the adversarial litigation system is in my mind deeply flawed.....but no way is it as non-sensical as it is sometimes made out.

I agree, but all it takes is one win, to change the way i have to practice. I've being in practice for 23 years. they have tried 8 times to fleece me. 7 never got anywhere, they got thrown out why in depo.

i realize Dr. make mistakes and should be held accountable. but i know that at least as many lives are ruined by the legal system then by Dr. yearly. we dr. have to run multiple test to dianose something that is very evident because if we don't run test X or Y then we were negligent. this has the effect of driving pt cost through the roof and me personally try to refer pt to specialist when ever possible. were they cost triple the cost. here in miami almost hallf the Dr. don't carry malpractice becuase they can't afford it. my friend that is a cardiac surgeon , his cost was 110K yearly. incredibly we are bigger targets when we carry insurance then when we don't...................that stat speaks volumes.
