30 Something Baby Doc

The meeting with my lawyer went great:-)

She walked me through the entire malpractice litigation process from beginning to end....which I greatly appreciated. I've never been sued before ,so this whole process was foreign to me. She strongly feels that when this case goes to a review panel, my name will be dropped. I'll continue to pray for that.

There's one thing that troubles and angers me about plaintiff's attorneys. I had these suspicions before I met with my lawyer, but she confirmed them.

The attorney's decision to take on malpractice cases commonly has less to do with the physician's negligence and has more to do with the degree of damages. (more damages=$MORE MONEY$). Physician negligence may not even be very apparent initially but the plaintiff's attorney hopes and prays to "dig" something up during the discovery process and get paid in the end. On the flip side, A physician's negligence could be blaring, but if the damages are minimal, the attorney won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

For that reason, I group malpractice plaintiff's attorneys into the ASSHOLE category;-)

OBTW, my lawyer loved the way I answer questions and said I would make a great expert witness. Maybe I'll be able to retire early.
