i think there needs to be a legislation forcing communication between peers on a professional level. So many people have suffered because doctors wont share opinions, data, and other pertinenent information relating to a patients well being.

How would a SWAT team fare if the point man thought “mmm i see the suspect, hes armed, and notices us, but hey! this team is professional and they will obtain their own information in their own way.”

Thats Unthinkable! But so many doctors think , and act in that manner, and their patients suffer and die as simply as that swat team would. Yet, its not being addressed by the medical boards, or any of the regulatory boards governing our doctors and surgeons.

I ask why? of course its rhetorical in the sense that it wont be addressed, but i hope that people see the wisdom in this.

Consider if the anesthesiologist and the surgeon actually communicated prior to a procedure how much less sufferign there would be. What causes this? Arrogance perhaps? Pride maybe?

It would take such small amounts of time, and no cost at all to simply communicate and share facts, and knowledge.

Barbara Connors is suing the very city that worked to save her.

In 2005 while a passenger in her son-in-law’s SUV, she became an unfortunate victim in a auto accident when her son-in-law made a mistake and accelerated instead of braked.

The SUV went into the Conneticut river, and she remained submerged.

The towns brave rescuers went into actions getting equipment and divers into place, their heroism saved Barbara Connors.

She is not thankful.

No, instead of gratitude shes suing the city. Barbara Connors suffered brain damage from her 29 minutes underwater. Now shes maintaining that if the very small town had a specialized dive rescue team she would have been rescued sooner and not have brain damage now.

BE THANKFUL LADY! these divers took a risk to save you and life is a gift, not a right.

Robert Clymer is a veteran FBI agent that plead guilty to a DUI and is now suing the maker of his vehicle because it caught fire after he slipped into unconsciousness behind the wheel.

Mr. Clymer had a blood alcohol of .306% almost 4 times the legal limit, and was out cold when the fire department pulled him from his burning vehicle.

The FBI agent was ticketed for dunk driving, and taken to the hospital.

He plead guilty to the DUI, and recieved a suspended jail term.

2 weeks after that, he filed a liability lawsuit against the truck manufacturer and the dealer who sold it to him.

In the suit, the plaintiff claims he parked on the roadside with the motor runnign to make a call on his cell phone. He then “somehow lost consciousness” and the vehicle “somehow produced a heavy smoke that filled the passenger cab”.

In my opinion this guy is a degenerate and should be arrested again for being a nuscience to a perfectly reputable manufacturer. Hes in the public eye, and as a representative of our national police, the FBI, he needs to seta better example. He screwed up, now take the heat. Your truck isnt the piece of crap sir, you are.

Insurance companies are well hated for a reason. Sentry insurance is suing an 81 year old woman becuz the insurance company had to pay workers comp to a parcel delivery worker becuz that worker fall on some ice located on the the seniors property.

Insurance companies are largely frowned at because of some practices that, while legal, are considered immoral. Things like lying, or making people feel bullied, or denying katrina victims claims. theres been instances where the insurance company has compensated doctors to dispute claims as well.

Sentry Insurance profitted 245.5 million in the year 2005, and is now suing a senior citizen becuz it paid on one workers worker compensation.
Insurance companies want you to pay them, but they want to never process a claim. Oddly, they have lawyers, but they always advise you not to get one… Definately get one!

A wise personal injury attorney doesnt often go after peoples personal assets. Its pretty rare in fact.

For more typical is the case where the client suffers injuries, and the total value of the case is 100 grand, and the dendant has  maybe just 25000 in insurance coverage, this defendant however appears to be well off.

People seem to think that people driving cheap cars, or old cars, have lesser insurance, while people driving middle ranged cars will have a much better insurance policy, and the rich folks driving luxury vehicles will have even more insurance.
So does a lawyer want to work to obtain more than the insurance coverage? They dont often want to.Reasoning: its very difficult. Most times its far more expedient to settle with the insurance company. Its over quickly with next to no incurred costs. Going for assets would mean a lengthy trial, wich means more cost and perhaps a poor judgement.

theres also the bad taste personal injury lawyers already leave with people. Why add to that?
