"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Malpractice Crisis Update: The Las Vegas trauma center was able to reopen, at least for 45 days. They recruited orthopedists practicing in the community to cover for the doctors who quit. However, the new doctors will only be there for 45 days, the period of time that they will be covered by a $50,000 liability cap. After that, the crisis starts all over again. Unless the legislature is somehow able to get tort reform through in those few days. posted by Sydney on
