here's a little Welfare Cadillac action: seems a few of these opportunists
in the great State of Mississippi decided to go after the neurosurgeons.
their lawyers were able to get the trials moved to Jerkwater County
where EVERYONE is broke (with a capital "B" as in BUSTED). gots to
send a message to the rich docs, 'ya see. Jury brings in a multimillion
dollar verdict, docs malpractice insurance pays off but then drops him.

the score:

Plaintiff walks with big $$$$$
Neurosurgeon - out of business

as a result of this lawyering, they drove all the Mississippi neurosurgeons OUT OF BUSINESS. If you happened to be traveling there and were in a car accident and suffered brain trauma, you had to to be life flighted to a neighboring state for treatment. of course, time is of no importance when dealing with a brain injury. can you say permanent brain injury? perhaps a few accident victims died as a result of the non-availability of prompt medical care. don't know.

several areas of the United States have no OB/GYN's thanks to the lawsuit
machine. your wife needs a doctor? load up the car and travel several
hundred miles and try and locate one. good luck, you'll need it.

between malpractice lawsuits and the recently signed sickcare legislation,
we are driving the EXPERIENCED doctors OUT OF BUSINESS. enter Soviet style medicine. Will Rogers once said, "People get the government they deserve". in this case, they are gonna get the medicine they deserve.
