Your whole post was about money, money, money. That is how lawyers think, not doctors (thank god). If money were the sole object, doctors would not do much of the work we do. Read your last post again. $, $, $. Did I miss something? While you may find my arguments all over the place, you are admirably consistent. $, $, $. Thats it.
What should a medical malpractice lawsuit be about if not recovery of money (and some other ancillary good results)?
Think now: are you honestly saying that attorneys should sue doctors when they don't think that they can prove negligence, or that even if negligence is proven, the plaintiff will only recover a small sum?
Go tell your wife that you are advocating that more lawsuits be filed against doctors. She'll love that.
