Cornell Law Review takes a look at medical malpractice and poor state of health care quality
“The scholars further recommend that physicians who adhere to evidence-based medical standards developed by the profession be immune from malpractice suits. ‘If physicians fear malpractice as much as they say they do, the prospect of immunity should be an immediate incentive for the implementation of these standards.'”
That is the smartest suggestion I’ve heard from a lawyer in awhile, and an idea I’d fully support. Right now, lawyers use evidence-based medicine as a “dirty word“. Giving immunity to doctors who practice according to the evidence is a strong step in the right direction.
