Bull. This is the only way the docs can beat the lawyers. I commend them and recommend a nationwide strike similar to it. Prescription-waving citizens would storm the state legislatures demanding tort reform before their mood-elevating pills ran out. Bravo to the docs! It's about time somebody threw the lawyers under the bus.

...Governor-elect Ed Rendell [D-PA] promised to fight for $220 million in aid for doctors this year...

Perhaps Willie Nelson needs to start holding benefit concerts for surgeons. /sarcasm

Actually, I find it interesting that the article notes soaring malpractice insurance rates but fails to mention "tort reform" or who benefits from rising insurance costs - lawyers.

Actually citizens ought to be storming their legislatures and trying to get more medical schools open and more foreign doctors into the country to practice. When labor costs get to high here the country opens it's borders to illegals and others who will reduce those costs, should be the same with doctors.
