Five myths of medical malpractice

11/4/2016

 
​This recent article (from a medical journal and co-authored by a doctor) debunks 5 widespread misconceptions about medical malpractice claims:
1. Malpractice crises are caused by spikes in medical
malpractice litigation (ie, sudden rises in
payouts and claim frequency).
2. The tort system delivers “jackpot justice.”
3. Physicians are one malpractice verdict away from
bankruptcy.
4. Physicians move to states that adopt damages caps.
5. Tort reform will lower health-care spending
dramatically.The authors offer 4 truths about the med mal system:

1)  It is very slow;
2)  It is extremely expensive;
3)  It is perceived by everyone involved as unpleasant and often unjust or unfair;
4)  Caps on damages do little to improve the system.

All of which I also find to be true about Indiana's regime.  However, it's what we've got to work with and in.
