A decree from above can ruin you and your career without you even being notified that a case is brewing upstairs.<br/><br/>Yours truly, corresponding directly from the Socialist Hell-hole “Under socialized medicine, the government gets sued”…correct

But you forgot the follow-up: The government then passes the buck on (as you know, manure has a tendency to follow the law of gravity – downhill) to the doctor, so in the end, it is the doctor’s anus that gets it, not the government.

And while you in a US situation, where you yourself is being sued, have a lot of legal safeguard (right to your own counsel, impartial jury of your peers, a neutral judge and so on and so forth), in a socialized system the doctor has no rights at all.

I read about potential lawsuits in Canada and the UK, why would physicians practice for the lower pay scales of socialized medicine and still under the threat of a lawsuit?

(Am I being redundant?) Unfortunately, there are all too many examples of male gynos raping and sexually abusing patients. It happens ALL THE TIME. <br/><br/>TRUST? Ha! Consumers have a contractual relationship with doctors--just like hair dressers or accountants. No more, no less. If people want PAP smears, they can go elsewhere.
