The writer of this article obviously won't address why people sue in the first place!

Because doctors and nurses do *NOT* self-police their ranks.

I have a sister who saw doctors who would fail DUI roadside tests in ER's.
Had she reported Dr Lush, she would have been blackballed.

There are guys in jail for multiple rapes who still have a license to practice medicine.

"Tort reform" is a lie created to let insurance companies and health care providers off the hook even for egregious violantion, like cutting the wrong leg off a diabetic patient, even though the gangrenous one is clearly labeled.
