Sounds nice--sounds in fact like a word for word recitation of the trial lawyers’ screed--until you confront the fact that John Edwards has a $50 million bank account extracted from the hides of well-meaning obstetricians through the extensive and cynical use of pseudoscience and cute courtroom tricks like channeling the recitations of dead children in the courtroom.

Did 'Junk Science' Make John Edwards Rich?

Cerebral palsy has now been shown to be secondary to birth trauma in less than 10% of cases, and it is likely that John Edwards was well aware of the fact that it is almost never a result of physician error when he was trying cases against doctors, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped him, does it? Is it any wonder that malpractice insurance for obstetricians has gone through the roof, and enough OB’s have stopped delivering children that it is almost impossible to find physician birth coverage in many places?

I’ll believe in the decency and honesty of trial attorneys the day that John Edwards gives the money back. Until then, I will continues to regard them as opportunistic parasites that are strangling not only the practice of medicine, but essentially all commerce in this country.

"John Edwards' spin is always -- I am helping the little guy. But he screened his cases to the point that he only helped people that were going to make him richer."
