IJ - Its all about money for you my friend. Cases without much money are "worthless" - your words. -doctors take on cases all the time they know they will spend a long time on and never see a dime (and may still be sued for to boot). Whose got the patients interest at heart?

Now that's quite an admission. Attorneys are damned if they do and damned if they don't with you people. Either we filed suit without going through your "independent process" in which case we're scum or if we do and the results are as I described so that the prospects of a recovery are nil, we are only in it for the money if we DON'T file suit. And we're still scum.

Why would any attorney take a case that he has to put over $100,000 in to if these is no realistic chance that negligence can be proven? Why would you put any client through that?

Doctors have to be some of the most arrogant and self-centered people around. And illogical. If you can't see the difference between treating a sick person without expectation of payment and filing a lawsuit without expectation of recovery, then no explanation will satisfy you.

I do a lot of pro bono work but filing hopeless lawsuits is not one of them. I used to do a lot more pro bono work than I do now, due to "tort reform."
