Unfortunately the medical “profession” continues to fail to adequately police itself. Approximately 5% of doctors are responsible for over 50% of claims paid. If the medical core would attack and remove the dangerous and substandard practitioners from practice then there would be less litigation and lower rates.
This is a continuance of the “good old boy” network and until doctors clean their own house there is NO reason to grant them any favors or relief.
Lawyers are not totally responsible for the high cost of Med-Mal costs, you must remember there are 12 people sitting on the jury which awards these ridiculous settlements.
Dr. Loyola’s insurance company in the past 3 years has paid out a total of $1,415,000 not including legal expense. Its appears Dr. Loyola’s $98,000 insurance payment wasn’t such a bad deal for him.
Would you let one of your family members go to him? Maybe he should consider another profession, doctors like Loyola are the reason rates are high! Before you blame others look in the mirror. The truth hurts.

IF THE LAWYERS DON’T HAVE A BONE TO SNIF ON IN A DCASE THEY WILL AVOID IT. NO MATTER HOW TEAR JERKY THEY GET ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE AN INJURY. YES THERE ARE A FEW ISOLATED CASES WHERE DRS ARE AT FAULT OR AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED, BUT A DITCH DIGGER IS NOT ECONOMICALY WORTHE 10 MILLION. HIS COSTS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE, BUT HIS FAMILY AND THE LUCKY ACTOR (LAWYER) WHO GET THE CASE SHPULD NOT BE MADE RICH.
“A few isolated cases where doctors are at fault”? Studies by the Institute of Medicine of deaths caused by medical malpractice in hospitals extrapolate out at a rate up to two times greater than the deaths caused by automobile accidents. Nobody would call deaths on the road “a few isolated cases where drivers are at fault.” Rand just reported that patients get the right medical treatment from American medicine less than 60% of the time. According to the AHRQ, non-fatal malpractice causes an extra 2.4 million hospital days each year and costs of $9.3 billion each year. According to the NCQA, malpractice causes business to lose 41 million work days and $11.5 billion in costs to business. Malpractice isn’t some minor, isolated phenomenon.

If I had a choice between Dr.s and Lawyers, the Drs. win.
