54. If I understand you correctly about the malpractice situation,

Edited on Sun Aug-16-09 05:41 PM by rebel with a cause

it would explain why health care is better in other countries. I have had several unhappy experiences with my specialist here in the USA. It seems they are so afraid of a malpractice suit that they are less than caring in certain situations.

I have found some of mine try to blame the patient when there is a problem in the outcome of their treatment plans. They make recommendations but the patient has to make the choice (ha) of what is done. Then if their 'recommendations' are wrong, they can always say it was the patient's choice/fault that things went wrong. It happened to me recently, and it blew me away because I didn't blame any of the specialist who were involved.

It turned out that I fought back and was correct with my diagnosis of the situation, which gave my GP a good laugh. But time could change all that, who knows. :shrug:
