Since we can't trust the bar to police itself, the public had to impose limits. Blame your greed CJD. Nobody said the doc involved, or a patient, should not be able to sue for noneconomic damages.

Your defense of this guy and analogy's to docs is sickening and shows were your bias truly lies. Good thing your are not a judge.
