Why are you so jealous that other people make money? Is it because you couldn’t hack it in a world where you only got paid if you did your job well?

I’d love it if my contingency clients would pay me hourly, win or lose. But most of those people you’re trying to keep out of the courthouse aren’t physicians, and can’t afford to pay attorneys by the hour.

CJD

I tried that too. I told the nurses in my ER not to bring back any patients with a full stomach, or who were really drunk. I told patients I would have to reschedule their visits if they showed up without a medication list. I told the courthouse I wasn’t responsible for a patients actions and outcomes for the month after they left my ER. (anesthesiologists aren’t liable if a guy smokes after his CABG) But the lawyers wouldn’t listen. It was still ALL my fault. It’s always the ER”S fault. Can you imagine if someone showed up for an appointment at your law office shitfaced? Then when you pissed them off they grabbed their car keys and said, “I’m outta here!” ANesthesiologists deal with that all the time. (Yah right) Someday one of us will shoot back. It will be ugly.

The last time and only time I asked for an anesthesiologist to assist me with a difficult intubation in the ER I was told it sounded like a bad case and that I should do a cricothyroidomy and he did not come. I guess that is one way to decrease your malpractice exposure.

maybe you meant to write :”…all you do is try and make it so kids and the elderly and the personal injury lawyer (with his 40% to 50% contingency fee) can’t recover against you”.

Seriously, you guys are the biggest whiners of any profession out there. You absolutely refuse to take any responsibility for your actions.

Look at the anesthesiologists. They started getting squeezed by their insurers and they said “Hey, what can we do better?” And then they improved their practices, got serious about eliminating malpractice.

Not the rest of you though – all you do is try and make it so kids and the elderly can’t recover against you. It’s amazing how such a highly educated group can be such weenies, and so ill-equipped to deal with the fact that they might have their decisions questioned. Some of you anonymice are like children.

Because his profession has ruined our profession. Just imagine if this happened to your career. For comparative example, lets say you’re a prostitute, and another specialty invades your profession and decrees that from now all, all you’re allowed to do with your customers is anal sex. That’s what lawyers have done to the medical profession.

What proof is this based on CJD? Were you at the trial? Or did you hear that Wesley Snipes dropped another load and were trying to find the woman he impregnated? SSShhh…I think an ambulance just drove by, get your sneakers on, CJD!
