I agree with your cynicism, but something has to be done. On one hand we have all this litigation running amock, driving up medical costs and on the other hand we have doctors still screwing up - badly. All this litigation is not forcing doctors to clean up their act.
Basically you have doctors and lawyers milking the system and the patients are getting screwed. For the doctors some sort of stricter policing action needs to be enforced. Just like with the teachers unions, these guys have figured out a way to protect the incompetant doctors.
Maybe we should put Phd's in biochemistry on their review boards instead of doctors. Something needs to be done to weed out the bad doctors and punish doctors who screw up. The trial lawyers have not solved the problem, they have just lined their pockets, so we need another solution.
