Do we need tort reform? Consider a few facts.
(1) The current tort system is torturing the medical profession. Talk with a few doctors.
(2) Most physicians drawn into the system are innocent. Sure, most are ultimately released, but this can take months or years. Doesn’t this sound like fun? Costs us money and affects how we view our patients.
(3) The current system is the direct cause of billions of dollars of defensive medicine. Even the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has belatedly admitted this.
(4) Defensive medicine (read: tests that patients don’t need) exposes them to medical risk.
(5) Most patients who are true victims of medical negligence are never captured by the system or compensated. Does this sound like a system worth preserving? For some balance, see http://www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com under Legal Quality category.
