People like me are responsible for the following falling dominoes: filing medical malpractice lawsuits against emergency room physicians, creating litigation paranoia among ER physicians, resulting in the practice of defensive medicine by cover-your-ass ER docs, who order costly medical testing and care.
Emergency physicians are well known in the medical profession to be paranoid about litigation. And well they should be. Emergency medicine docs are among such litigation high risk specialties as obstetricians and neurosurgeons. There is every reason to believe (and some evidence) that this paranoia alters how these physicians practice medicine and not necessarily for the better.
The practice of emergency medicine (among other high risk specialties) has become so regimented and infused with defensive medicine tactics that many ER docs are not even aware of how this has changed the way they think.
I have every intention to continuing filing a lawsuit whenever a patient is seriously injured as a result of improper, unacceptable, substandard medical care.
If they can ignore the surgery of my dog via ceasarian operation what more if the patient is human who needs extra care..well at least the doctor was scared about the civil damages, he performed the operation for free,.after my dog suffered seizure attacks because of the allergy on the antibiotics..well the paranoia is all in the mind..there is no law yet about damages in relation to dogs injury however it works...
Dogs also has a life..
