There are many medical malpractice lawsuits some are reality based many are not. Now we have lawyers ruining the industry because many doctors see each new patient in an adversarial way because they are a potential lawsuit.
In fact when someone comes in for a broken elbow they often run lots of tests just in case the person has something else wrong they will find it and therefore they cannot be sued. Total CYA syndrome, which means more paper work, less time with patients, higher medical costs for everyone; the patient is not the enemy. But unfortunately lawyers have changed things forever.
Older doctors have retired and taken their experience with them and have retired somewhat bitter of the system? Don’t buy this scenario, go sit in a coffee shop or at the golf course clubhouse and ask them about it then.
Now we have another problem and that is that the remaining doctors must work twice as hard, double shifts like the nurses, meaning this is causing the problem and perpetuating it, not helping the medical industry. In fact less students with to become doctors. Let's face it Doctor Markus Wellbe is long gone and retired and never coming back.
