Reply #38: As far as malpractice goes on the legal end

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

often we believe it is there but have great difficulty finding doctors who will testify..depending on the specialty one is suing there may be smaller community of physicians in that specialty than you think and they are threatened with blacklisting within their community if they testify....then you have the expense of such a case because all these experts want to be paid up front.

This is why I laugh when the medical profession talks about frivolous cases...if a lawyer even TAKES a malpractice case...it's because they've at least preliminarily assessed that it occurred.
