Seriously, a doc calling someone else arrogant and greedy is the pot calling the kettle.

No, it takes a law degree to develop that kind of arrogance and greed.

The Korean dry cleaner closed his shop. You probably think that’s a loke. What’s the word again, “inconvenienced”. I remember that one used to describe a doc sued by a patient claimin paralysis…..a patient who was filmed walking around the neighborhood, taking out the garbage.

What am I failing to properly analyze? That the CP literature says that brain injuries can cause CP? That brain injuries during birth can be caused by malpractice? That no single study has ever ruled out malpractice as a cause of CP?

It’s ironic a physician who swallows insurance company “statistics” wholeheartedly would lecture others on critical analysis. Aren’t you the guy who believes Texas is a success, but the fact that other states without “reform” also had reductions doesn’t enter into your thinking?

Kind of like your inability to critically analyze research data and understand the conclusions in relation to the inappropriateness of given malpractice claims?

Your profession has ethics? Since when did arrogance and greed become ethics? Again, if you want to paint everyone by the actions of a few, you better be careful.

Texas insurers, like those in all states, whether they screwed the injured or not, has reduced rates as the economy improved. And, if it tanks again, we’ll have another “crisis”, like we do during every economic downturn.

How have insurers been able to convince physicians that their insurers should be guaranteed profitability?

More likely, conditions in individual states, including those without caps, are responsible for changes in premiums.

In Texas, they didn’t go down until they enactged caps. In my state, rates continue to go up. It is NOT the stock market.

See, I’m a physician, and we have ethics. In your line of work CJD, legal ethics means when you steal money from a client, you agonize over whether you should split it with your partner.
