And yet we hear about doctors that don't screw up, but are presented as though they have.
The case I mentioned earlier was on the front page of a state-circulated paper 12 years after the event. My relative had to face all sorts of speculation and rumors because the case was reopened over a decade after the fact, because a state law changed, saying that he could be sued as an individual and not just through the university he worked for. Where malpractice is concerned, doctors have as much trouble escaping false charges as Catholic priests. The general public just assumes that they're in the wrong.
Sorry about that. I think I'm done with this topic for the night.
I starred in a short film called
Magnetic Personality. Check it out!
