If attorneys cared about these "victims," they would accept less of the patients' money to do the right thing. Take away some of your 40% and the "victim" doesn't matter so much to you anymore. It's all you are about. I see all comers regardless of their ability to pay and treat them to the best of my ability.

That's pretty funny."<br/><br/>Of course it is. Take away the patients, and that's all you're about. And it's clear you discarded their interests some time ago. “Hmmmmm…..you really think any amount of payment for an ER visit is worth a 3 to 5 year lawsuit to me? That’s pretty funny.”

Do you ever think about the fact that caps on awards makes it harder for them to pay you, the provider?<br/><br/>Or is it all just some misguided attorney-doctor battle to you? Patient care isn't something you think about? “Caps on awards (from the attorney’s perspective) are just like Medicaid payments (from the physician’s perspective).

Better healthcare for the patients? Less defensive medicine? Cheaper healthcare for the public?<br/><br/>Or was this all just insurer profit protection legislation?
