36. Agreed. Doctors get sued for malpractice primarily because they commit malpractice.

Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:58 AM by TexasObserver

Particularly the last sentence:

"Moreover, several insurers substantially increased their premiums even though their claims
payments actually fell--and fell substantially."

It's impossible to win a malpractice case unless there is compelling evidence by other doctors who are experts in the relevant fields against the doctor accused of malpractice.

Sure, some good doctors do get sued for malpractice wrongly, but winning a malpractice case against a doctor is harder than against any other defendant in America.
