I don't know if you are right or not. What I do know is that in Maryland a suit cannot even be filed without a certification from a doctor that malpractice occurred. The case is then heard by a three member commission consisting of a Doctor, a lawyer and a lay person. Either side can appeal the commission's decision to a jury trial. It doesn't seemed to have helped much. I was a member of several of those commissions and I found most of the claims being filed to be meritorious, and I was joined by the other members including the Doctor. The cases that we found without merit were "battle of the experts" cases, where we felt that it was a situation where no matter what the Doctor would have done could have been wrong. Oddly enough out of about 12 cases, on which I was a commission member, all of the members agreed on the veridict. There were no split verdicts. I do believe that the doctors should be more supportive of disciplining those among them who have high malpractice percentages. lj
