Suing them. However, we know where you stand on tort reform and doctor protection.

IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, not the profession that is highlighted in the thread. It would be no different if we were talking about auto mechanics. One bragging on sugaring a gas-tank of a conservative and another saying only Mexicans make good mechanics and white men had nothing to do with advancing the automobile industry. Quit being hung up on bad doctors.

That is rich coming from a profession that has sought to make holding bad doctors accountable through the Courts near impossible.

Nothing to do with the gist of the OP.

Correct. He has economic exposure because I assume the horses are valuable. It's part of the cost of making all that money he talks about constantly...and, it's tax deductible.

An ER doctor in Texas, on the other hand, can kill or cripple a three year old child and walk away from any liability at all since the legal standard requires a showing of willful and wanton negligence. A virtually impossible standard to satisfy.

You cannot get around the direct statement you posted. A statement we challenge.

Now, you seek to reframe to a larger narrative which is fine.

Your example does not fit as stated above.

Tough Dr. Easter chose to quote DEI as causing bad doctors to get hire and stayed hired. How dare someone reject his adopted position.

If you want to give preference to socioeconomically disadvantaged people, that’s fine, but personally I’d rather have the best intellectually speaking provider more so than their economic, racial or political background making a difference.

The racist insisting that only a white guy can be a doctor is wrong, just like the idea that a doctor’s race is important to treat illnesses.

I think the studies establish that black Americans are far more likely to seek primary care treatment from a black doctor versus just using the ER. And, as a practicing physician, you know why that is so important.

Isn't having more black doctors important? And, I will say....the idea that there is a correlation between medical school and, for instance, law school, entrance exam scores and eventual professional capabilities is a fallacy. "Less qualified" in the context of some entrance exam test score means nothing in actual practice.

You know I'm right, Doc.

I never saw this to be true over my career working in product liability and medical malpractice. Maybe others with decades of experience in medical malpractice will jump in.

So did you play offense or defense?

I only had three years' experience as a young associate in an insurance defense firm whose practice included professional negligence of various types. One partner focused on med-mal cases. I saw abuses by plaintiff's counsel and also by other insurance defense counsel.

The field doesn't belong to ladies and gentlemen.

Mike,

You are incorrect on the effect of tort reform on med mal cases. There is not a requirement of a gross negligence finding on a doctor to prove liability. There is a cap on damages, which was $250k, I believe, over 20 years ago, but it was indexed to the CPI, so it's now in excess of $1.5 million I believe, but I don't do a lot a med mal coverage work anymore. I used to do a lot, but tort reform worked.

We need more tort reform now due to abuses by plaintiffs' lawyers. First, we should put a similar cap on non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, mental anguish etc. Some states have a $1M cap on those sorts of damages, which I think would be a good start, but I do think it should be indexed to the CPI, like the med mal cap was. These reforms are necessary because of frequent abuses by plaintiff's lawyers, who really only care about their contingent fee. A couple of brief examples, a plaintiff's firm that touts its 9 figure verdict in favor of an intoxicated woman who passed out on railroad tracks and lost a leg when she got run over by a train. Yes, I'm serios. Or another plaintiff's lawyer who got a jury to award $100 million for an operated neck. These types of verdicts are ridiculous and out of control.

If trial judges won't control their courtrooms, the legislature must.

Second, we should statutorily provide that the Stowers duty (It's a Texas thing) does not apply until an insured defendant has appeared and answered in a lawsuit for at least six months, allowing the defense to conduct some discovery. What happens now is that since the statute of limitations is two years, the plaintiff's lawyer works up their whole case before even notifying the defendant that they are going to sue. The plaintiff's lawyers send their clients to pet doctors under letters of protection and run up a ridiculous amount of medical, with a back door understanding that the entire amount billed will never be paid, and then they send a time sensitive demand to the insurance company, who has no information or even the benefit of any discovery, demanding that they pay the entire policy limit within a matter of days or run the risk of opening up policy limits. This abusive practice needs to end.
