Ok, how about this:
Remove the lawyer from the equation.
If a patient is injured they present their case to a panel of judges who are trained in medical malpractice cases. The judges hear from the physician and then decide whether the case has merit or not. If it does, the judges award compensation based on nationally agreed upon guidelines.
Oh yeah, and loser pays for all court costs. That should help eliminate some of the frivolous suits.
