Its always the other guys lawsuit that is frivolous. But what if it happens to you? An excellent article explaining how tort reform enacted in Texas with the promise of lower health care costs, access to more health care in rural areas and an end to frivolous lawsuits has actually resulted in the inability to hold negligent doctors and hospitals responsible. Malpractice premiums and health care costs continue to rise; access to health care is no better; studies show that the quality of care has become worse, BUT the number of lawsuits has gone down - Ill leave it to you to decide whether the lawsuit for the death of 16 year old Jon DiLeo was frivolous. If not, State Representative Craig Eilands comment that never have so many who needed so little gained so much was tragically accurate. Read about how the neurosurgeon ignored his own treatment plan, failed to answer emergency calls from the hospital staff and then destroyed the medical records to avoid responsibility and there is nothing Jons parents could do about it. And after you do that, ask yourself how do we wish to be treated if we or a loved one are an unfortunate victim of medical malpractice?
