Larry Corriea just reposted this on his FecesBook page, from one of his legal beagle friends. Interesting points:
I just realized something.
I don’t do medical malpractice plaintiff or defense work.
But I am outside general counsel for a number of doctors and clinics. It seems to me that any hospital or clinic that employs lefties who publicly call for the murder of conservatives now has a HUGE medical malpractice liability issue. Especially any that are in red counties.
Can you imagine the recovery for conservative patients alleging medical malpractice who were treated by these folks?
Punitive damages - if allowed by state law - would be trivially easy to prove.
I’ll be advising my health care clients to review the social media posts of their employees and immediately terminate any employees who’ve publicly expressed extreme hostility to conservatives. This isn’t censorship or cancel culture. This is about reducing litigation exposure. And keeping malpractice premiums down.
I suspect that the same exposure exists for employees who publicly make typical far-left antisemitic statements and are accused of medical malpractice by Jewish patients.

—Very— interesting angle.
And malpractice insurance may come into play here also (higher rates/premiums)?
