“Increasing requirements for doctors to take call as a condition of practice.”

Yeah, that’s going to go over real well.

How about creating a fund for the trial lawyers (Say a forced contribution by doctors who are rich anyway of a biweekly 1000 $ each ) which will fund a “think tank” populated by Trial lawyer only for their “Valuable time” and then they might come out with other great ideas! (convoluted like a bag of Pretzel)

Yes, lets cut out the ER exposure intermediary problem and have an involuntary tax of $1000 dollars or so every week from every physicians bank funds direct deposited into the account of Trial Lawyer, Inc.

It will then go for yachts, Rolls Royces, and Armani suits of the crooked lawyers.

Oh wait, we already have this. Its called “liabilty insurance.”

Liberalism. Follow their plans, and sooner or later, there will be someone with a gun forcing you to do something.

Ha, since the court system is so backed up, and criminals are lacking public defenders, lets use the same logic and require all attorneys to take on criminal cases as a condition of getting a license

I mean they’ve done such a good job with fen-phen and asbestos litigation……yeah, the theiving liars need to dictate “ethics” to physicians. A lawyer wouldn’t know what ethics was if it bit him in the arse.
