"Seems like Longnshort has a good point, and you're struggling to call him a "liar.""

Not sure that he has a point. Without knowing the details of the cases which Edwards took on, it isn't possible to know whether or not those were actual cases of malpractice or not. And malpractice does occur. And when it does occur, it seems to always be the same set of docs.

Look, it isn't easy to win a malpractice case in a jury trial. The juries side with the docs in the vast majority of cases. So, to win, it has to be pretty clear the doctor screwed up.

And even then, the doc doesn't always lose.

So, Edwards won 63 medical malpractice cases in his whole career.

One, in particular, was a high profile, CP case. He tried a total of 21 of these over the 20 years of his legal career. And Shorty wants us to believe that he single-handedly drove enough OB's out of North Carolina to markedly impact health care in that state.

Sorry, Tench. That is BS.

Now, you want to use him as an example of a problem? That might be the case. Although, I want to point out again that it isn't easy to win a medical malpractice case. But, still. But it stretches credibility all out of whack to point to him as the source of the problem.

And no, I am not struggling to call him a liar. He is one. And a chronic one at that. Now true, you can take your same old position that he just exaggerates for effect. But, virtually everyone of his posts has one or more of them. And the ones that don't are generally a single word or maybe a personal attack.

That goes beyond simple exaggeration.
