Tuesday, July 15, 2003Also, there's no reason to expect that doctors would be better at judging one another. Some physicians are so arrogant that they think their way is the only correct way ( remember yesterday's expert witness testimony - scroll up). And others have trouble criticizing a colleague at all. This is especially true in rural areas, where the supply of physicians is limited, and all of the doctors in an area rely on each other for referrals. No one is eager to offend in those situations. Then, there's the whole issue of transparency. The public isn't likely to trust us if we are the only ones who sit in judgement of our errors. While it's true that this is the way lawyers discipline themselves, we don't want our profession to descend to the levels of public trust that the legal profession has. Do we? posted by Sydney on 7/15/2003 06:44:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
