Some random musings we found while perusing the wide world o' blogs
Aggravated DocSurg says: "Whenever I see an award in a malpractice case that is this high [he's talking about $8.25 million in Fort Myers], I
remind myself to continuously express to patients one of the basic
tenets of life: Bad things happen. Sometimes, they happen despite the
best efforts of everyone involved. Surgery, like life, offers no guarantees."
Callous? The truth?
GruntDoc keyed us into this interesting legal move [via Overlawyered]. Seems the the former president of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association,
Kim Presbrey, has started a new malpractice insurance
company, Doctors Direct, focusing on neurosurgeons and heart surgeons.
Get in where the getting is good.
And lastly, we've been meaning to mention a site under the name, My Surgery Nightmare. Is the proof in the wide-eyes?
