I tire of these apocryphal tales, they shed no light on anything since the assumptions are faulty and unreliable without access to the actual allegations or the facts of the case.
Kevin is lobbying. In lobbying, facts are secondary to staying “on message.”
The facts don’t matter. What matters is the tale itself. Does anyone think that a Physician hearing this will NOT consider preventive tactics as the article described? It is its own reality as are Urban Legends. These things matter and lawyers are dreaming if they think they don’t.
I don’t know if it’s so much that physicians buy into these fabrications as that the attorneys and insurance groups that run health care now love it. To them, it’s “justification” for all manner of stupidity that serves only to rob doctors of free will and patients of good care.

So our physicians are not concerned with facts and alter their actions based on urban legends?
And they criticize the autism-vaccine advocates?
