A doctor successfully countersues . . . with support from the trial lawyers

Must be read to be believed:

Four times, Dr. Frank Bonnarens was sued for malpractice, and four times, the lawsuits were dismissed.

So after a fifth suit was filed and later dropped, the Louisville orthopedic surgeon fought back — filing his own suit against the moonlighting state government attorney who had sued him in the fifth case . . .

. . . But the president of the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorneys, Steve Downey, hailed the verdict, which he said shows that doctors have a remedy from frivolous suits without so-called tort reform.
