Expert Testimony for Medical Malpractice Suits In Doubt
…it’s easy to see the veiled path accurately when you have the advantage of already knowing where that path is going, but that isn’t the scenario that the defendant was working with at the time. If 30 out of 31 doctors would have come to the same conclusion you did in the same circumstances you had, it’s ludicrous to try to claim any sort of malpractice has occurred.
HealthCare Reform – Proof is in the Pudding
Physicians, too, are left out on the lurch by the new “reform” bill. The threat of lawsuits is continually driving up the costs of healthcare. Though its clear and obvious that frivolous lawsuits (more importantly, the subsequent defensive medicine practiced because of it) are costing patients and their insurance companies untold billions per year, there’s still not a shred of national tort reform in sight…The proof is in the pudding. No other organization or product offers as sound and reliable a protection against frivolous lawsuits and Internet defamation. Medical Justice’ methods are proven, and their track record demonstrates that. Some members may even enjoy a lower malpractice insurance premium in honor of their membership in Medical Justice.

Fighting Back Against the Changes
The most immediate and obvious consequence of Congress not re-funding the payments, though, is likely to take form in lines. Not lines on your face, the lines to get in at the few doctors who will still accept Medicare… News Flash, Congress: THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY CANNOT PROVIDE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
HealthCare Reform Coming Home To Roost
The employers, of course, see it differently. One such mouthpiece, Peter Skoda of the Haro Bicycle Corporation, says that the new plans will “eliminate the Gucci doctors.” That’s the story being told. But it doesn’t matter if you wear Guccis or flip-flops. If your patient wants be seen by you and you’re not on the list, your patient will have to pay the entire bill.
