What I'm describing in clinic care is exactly what I experienced in Boston in the late 1960s. It's the best medical care I've ever experienced.

About the lawyer situation. What if patients had to sign a waiver whenever they took a pharmaceutical? What if they were offered a second opinion, or had to sign a statement that they refused it?

Let the lawyers go after the pharmaceutical and medical supplies companies.

What if patients had to sign a waiver whenever they took a pharmaceutical? What if they were offered a second opinion, or had to sign a statement that they refused it?

Waivers were very popular in the late 1970s, a simple (and obvious) answer to the lawsuit crisis.

Unfortunately, by the mid-80s, courts were ruling consistently that you could not waive your right not to be mistreated.
