Aside from your complete lack of sympathy for the poster's loss of his father, you seem to excuse the lying and cover-ups as something the doctors are forced to do...because they might actually be held accountable for their mistakes. You berate the poster for just taking the cash and not making it his mission in life to make sure it does not happen to others. It obviously does not occur to you that these people are suffering from a horrible tragedy and loss. I doubt if they are thinking about future medical reform while they are making funeral arrangements for their loved one. You state that you would do all these things to make changes in the future, but you obviously are not speaking from first-hand experience. If you should ever be so unfortunate as to lose a loved one from malpractice, then why don't you come back and post and tell us how you feel about it and all the things you are doing towards reform then.




Here are some sad facts. OBGYN's in my county now pay $95,000 per year PER DOCTOR for malpractice insurance - and that is the rate only for doctors who have never been sued!!! The range is between $95,000 and $150,000 per doctor in this field. On average, this protection money, which is the direct result of an extremely litiguous society, has gone up $20,000 to $30,000 per year per doctor for the past five years. HOW CAN THEY STAY IN BUSINESS? Many, many specialists are dropping out of their chosen fields because they simply can't afford it. Consumers are the most affected by this phenomenon! LIBERALS - Get it through your heads that we cannot continue on this course! It's insanity. You're desire to stick it to the man will hurt you in the long run.

Should doctors who make mistakes be punished, sanctioned, fined, etc.? Yes - assuming it's negligence that causes it. It should not a be an opportunity for a financial windfall! We need caps - whether it's $250,000 or not - we need them now. (BTW, the $250K is the cap on punitive damages - not on compensatory damages - like needing constant care. Punitives are the area where juries have been lottery commissions by sticking it to the big bad companies. In the process, THEY ARE KILLING AN INDUSTRY.)

As you can tell, I'm passionate about this one.
