That's why we need more, not less, malpractice suits.

If Janice ever doubted then this proves you are truly an attorney. :) (BTW, my best friend is an attorney and I give him hell all the time and he usually agrees his ilk are mostly pond scum) :::)))

We Do? Could you please explain why? We already have malpractice suits galore...so much so we see suits beyond frivolous trying to find something with which to make money-not make the product or service better as we would be led to believe by the sanctimonious and pious legal spokespeople. Some of my physician friends pay over $100,000/year for malpractice insurance. Is it any wonder I heard a report on the radio several months ago where it was reported the average income of attorneys now exceeds the average income of physicians?

While uncomfortable with eliminating the ability for those legitimately wronged to file malpractice suits I'm even more uncomfortable with the present system. We must have a better system of protecting the medical profession (everyone, actually) against obviously frivolous lawsuits. Do you have any suggestions? I would think a form of 'loser pays' to be a good start.
