Michael: I have no objection to criminal prosecution if it is warranted. I have no objection to civil litigation if it is warranted. I have been involved in a lot of litigation as a civil trial lawyer and as a prosecutor and I have no recollection of any cause being frivolous. The term frivolous and skyrocket are terms used by the insurance industry to convince the proletariat that the lawyers are the bad guys. When I recovered $2+Million for 2 teenage children who lost their mother to a hospital by reason of the hospital's negligence and the negligence of 2 interns I did not feel a bit guilty when the hospital's "Damage Control Officer" thought I was a low-life. The damage control officer who was a RN and licensed lawyer did not know what to say when I showed up at the hospital records department with a document examiner. She just could not believe that the hospital chart had been "doctored up." No pun intended. When our document examiner found that the record had been altered the price of settlement went up. Our examiner was a Nationally known document examiner and I could give you his name but the Hospital demanded a "gag order" as a condition of settlement. I finished that case and felt just like Paul Neuman in his portrayal in "The Verdict" Perhaps you will recall that fiction where a Catholic hospital in Boston had a doctor on staff who altered the record to avoid his responsibility for negligence. Michael, I could tell you that in a 30 year career as a trial lawyer that "I got a million of em" Do you remember Jimmy Durante? Ron
