What the heck are the hospitals doing? They can't move!

Some are closing departments--maternity has been hard hit--others like Mercy Community Hospital In Haverford, Delaware County are closing down.

Fast Eddie is quoted in today's Daily Times as saying the doctors are being unreasonable in their request for caps on non-economic damages

What does PA law have to say about a hospital's requirements to maintain an ER? Most states do not require a hospital to maintain one, and an ER is a bigger lawsuit magnet than an OB ward. Besides, if you lose your GS's and neuros and orthos, it doesn't do much good to have an ER, anyway.
