All kidding aside the need for "tort reform" is bull. It's the industry that needs fixing, not the lawsuits.
Reading comprehension is not one of your high suits, that's for sure.
I never said all lawsuits are bogus. There are law firms which specialized in using pseudo science and charming, handsome, persuasive lawyers to win jury awards in cases that were completely false.
Edwards specialized in 'forceps delivery' cases. Their data was false, skewed, and often faked, but it didn't matter, they made millions off South Carolina's obstetricians. Many left the state to avoid future lawsuits because the method was and is accepted and remains fairly safe. Of course, doctors could just c-section every woman, and then we'd really see lawsuits flying.
Don't accuse me of protecting MDs. I don't use MDs, and I think their methods and approach to medicine is skewed to profit, their egos, and maintaining their 'superiority' to the slobbering masses. I personally use a DO. Osteopathic Medicine treats more than simple symptoms, they treat patients with respect, and they talk to you much more than any MD to find the root of the problem. They want to cure their patients.
To prove the profit motive of MDs, one needs to look no farther than the decades of 'ulcer' treatments and surgeries, the billions made when a simple antibiotic treatment cures some 95% of ulcers. . . permanently. People suffered needlessly for decades to sell Tagamet and the like.
To prove how much MDs are threatened by DOs, one needs to look no farther than the railroading of Dr. Sheppard. Check up on it. It'll raise your eyebrows.
