That's among the big factors medical is so expensive"<br /><br />This is patently false. Even if you factor in the costs of insurer overhead, what they pay their execs, etc. and don't consider that many of the dollars in award go back into the system, you still don't even come up to 10% of the total cost of healthcare.<br /><br />Doctors aren't sued for "the smallest things". You have to have a pretty grievous injury to make it cost effective to pursue a malpractice case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323692122514281455.post-5418535176110327492012-05-05T14:30:57.419-04:002012-05-05T14:30:57.419-04:00Doctors should not be sued for the smallest things...Doctors should not be sued for the smallest things.

Or, as with "Medical Justice", intimidating expert witnesses which are already hard enough to come by. The plaintiff doesn't care what you think. <br /><br />The truth is that no matter how egregious the malpractice, most physicians wouldn't dare testify against a colleague. If that's the "justice" you're trying to preserve, well, that says more about you than anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323692122514281455.post-30088690354975161542012-04-23T20:46:28.260-04:002012-04-23T20:46:28.260-04:00Doctors should not be sued for the smallest things...Doctors should not be sued for the smallest things.
