Specialists spurn area's hospitals (Crooked Lawyer Alert)

Over the past year, dozens of doctors have shut down their practices or retired early because they could not find medical liability insurance or afford the skyrocketing rates. Most of the doctors who have called it quits have been high risk specialists such as obstetricians, general surgeons and emergency room physicians.

Nevada patients will find themselves living in a state that's at least a decade behind the times in quality medicine and access to care.

Libility insurance is little more than a lawyer tax, with 70% of the payout going to defense and plaintiff lawyers. Multi-millionaire vermin like John Edwards profit amazingly, while large regions of the country are seein a free-fall collapse of trauma care, emergency room service, obstetrics and emergency neurosurgery.

Eventually, they're all going to set up practice just south of the Rio Grande.

There are plenty of states (including California) with excellent libility consumer reforms in place. We are seeing an amazing experiment comparing those states with corrupt lawyers firmly in control to states with some more freedom. The results will be very clear very soon.

One of my biggest fears in life is that parasite somehow becoming our President. It seems unlikely now, but you never know...

Words cannot describe the nausea I feel when contemplating sleazy, evil lawyers like John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, or Bill Clinton in positions of power. Outside of treason, bribery, aborting third trimester babies, and totalitarian power lust, these intestinal parasites stand for nothing.

Look, he got the mansion on the private island in NC and the million-dollar mansion in Washington through hard work.

And monkeys will fly out his butt, too. ;-)

Hey, private islands in NC and the million-dollar mansion in Washington are more important than emergency rooms for automobile accident victims or delivering babies for high risk mothers.

Where are your priorities?

Cook County, Ill...Orlando...Las Vegas...NJ...

You know, do you suppose there's some connect with gangsterism, mafioso--and trial lawyers? They seem to profit best in these gangland places.

Why does it seem unlikely? The same people who voted for Clinton would gladly elect another parasite lawyer.

Stop it! You're scaring me... You're right though, I just don't like to think about it. Although one difference between Slick and JE is that Clinton never really practiced law much, so he didn't really have a reputation as a lawyer (I'll bet most the yokels who voted for him weren't even aware he was a lawyer). Unfortunately, a lot of idiots throughout our nation have bought into the Hollywood image of trial attornies as noble people, so maybe that won't be the liability against Edwards I hope it is.

Outstanding article: Could you please post this article, I have to go to a funeral. Thanks.

Cancer screening joins the ranks of unavailability due to soaring liability costs

I so glad John Edwards is enjoying his lifestyle of luxury and his many mansions, while Florida women are no longer able to get timely mammograms. It is amazing that any radiologists are willing to perform mamograms at all, since your article notes a lawyer tax of $80K on a $150K income.

Another ER will soon bite the dust near Orlando, this time a Level 2

The situation appears terrifying for Central Florida. The lawyer industry is nothing more than murdering scum.

Mamas, don't let your babies be born in Nevada...

God you are good. How about a ping list.
