Because all you allegedly “unbiased” well meaning physicians won’t testify against a colleague no matter how clear the malpractice and if you’re going to be a pariah among your colleagues no matter how truthful your testimony you think you ought to get paid?

By the way, how many experts have you hired?

No, the key is to make sure that experts are not hired guns who float from case to case, whoring themselves out to the highest bidder.

Do you ever wonder why lawyers pay “experts” 10 times more money per hour than what they would make in clinical practice? Because thats what it takes to bias their testimony in their favor.

There’s something wrong with a system in which a surgeon can make 10 times more money by testifying in court as plaintiffs expert rather than treating patients.

Talk about being utterly clueless. LMAO LMAO

Or are you just a talker, not a doer? Clearly, the key is to keep anyone from ever testifying for a plaintiff. Because doctors are infallible, and even when they aren’t, they shouldn’t have to pay!

Unlike litigious patients, doctors actually have some control over hired guns. STate medical boards and medical associations should start analyzing their testimony, and every time they lie on the stands they should have their board certificaiton and license revoked.<br/><br/>That will get rid of these hired gun scumbags.

All the OB-GYn's should walk , and go into another less risky specialty. ACOG should actually organize a strike. I just don't understand why so many of them who leave OB-GYN due to the malpractice risk go into Emergency medicine, another risky profession. (There are 2 former OB-GYN's at my residency, who both left as residents because they got tired being named in lawsuits as residents) This OB-GYN must be pretty stupid, but for another reason: Anyone who doesn’t figure out during residency that OB-GYn is probably the worst and most lawsuit-prone profession and get the hell out deserves the worst.

Hats off to this jury. An example of the system working.

Why dont you spend more time on your work and try to do more about making good in it, maybe you will find contentment. Do not stay in front of your computer, you will stay frustrated. I'm not surprised at all that you have a rage. try to see a shrink. 4.24, why are you so worried about litigations?
