Yes... I agree... ...Good morning Throckmorton. :)<br /><br />Yes... I agree... WC's post was excellent. <br /><br />It's all so complicated.<br /><br />I just wish y'all could practice medicine unhindered by all the regulations, etc., that insurance companies were fair (oxymoron?)to both providers and patients and that society wasn't so litigious... so docs could remain focused on what they trained to do and have more time with the patients and for their personal lives instead of rushing to get the patients in and out and having to put in such long hours because of how the system pays them.<br /><br />Did you see the post in Kevin MD about the urologist getting sued because he neglected to tell the patient he had lung cancer?<br /><br />What a sad case! I don't understand the jury's reasoning there and yet if she sued everyone..she'd probably have won.<br /><br />How in the world he could say it wasn't his responsibility to inform him when he was the ordering doc for the x-ray is beyond me. And doesn't the radiologist have to get in touch w/the patient? Apparently not.<br /><br />They do for mammos and ultra sounds.<br /><br />And then contrast this case with the frivolous ones that DO win. <br /><br />Hey.. wouldn't it be nice if you were entitled to 1/3 of all future earnings ..plus expenses? :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.com
