Respectfully, I submit the following:

Most of your posts are wise, thoughtful and well thought out. However, on the subject of mesicine vs. the law profession you have a vested interest, and it would appear, reasonably so, this would color your opinions.

As I said, I offer this only with the utmost respect. To be fair, the medical profession is not the only one affected by the legal system. Stock brokers, real estste agents to name a couple, carry "errors and omission" insurance, which acts like malpractice insurance does for doctors and hospitals.

There will always be a few practicioners that, through ignorance, incompetence or carelessness increase the cost of doing business for the rest. And, individuals hurt by these individuals should also have a way to be made as whole as possible.

The system needs fixing, not dismantling.

And, Ann's words, as full of vitriol as they usual, do contain some points that need to be considered.

It must also be mentioned that she is an attorney.

No offense meant; I see your point. But, there are other facets to the situation and they also must be addressed.
