The malpractice players on the field

“experts” get paid 10 times more money to testify in court than they do by doing patient care.

Is it any surprise that these “experts” will lie in court to keep getting those paychecks from the lawyers?

My solution: cap expert witness fees, no more than say $50 per hour or $5000 per case.

You’ve got homicidal feelings against everyone.

Over here, medical expert witnesses are paid 800 NKR (US$ 100) per hour. The pay isn’t all that much, but this doesn’t make them any less prostitutes. In fact, the streets of Oslo are at present teeming with two-dollar hookers just as the courts are overflowing with medical expert witnesses.
So no, I guess capping their fees won’t be enough to remedy the problem. Other suggestions?

So how much are you “non-prostitute” physicians willing to testify for? If you knew there was malpractice, what would you charge to piss off your insurer and become a pariah among your colleagues even though what you were doing was right and you knew the plaintiff deserved to be compensated?

Oh, that’s right, you wouldn’t, so it doesn’t matter. You don’t have the courage or the decency to testify under any circumstances. And that makes you how much better than those who do? None at all.

You’re right, I would imagine courage has little to do with anything in your life.
