Hi List; How much is your eye sight worth? I lost my eyesight to medical malpractice. What started as an abscessed wisdom tooth that resulted in gangrene. It almost killed me but, in California the laws set limits on how much you can sue for in a medical malpractice lawsuit. I don't much give a damn about how much a doctor has to pay in medmal insurance because when they totally screw up they just walk away and the person they totally screwed over is left holding the bag for the rest of their of life. Yet, you get these dub ass lawsuits that win a plaintiff tons of money for the dumbest reasons! This is a topic that I don't take lightly because of some of the stupid lawsuits like the ones mentioned about hot coffee and people trying to trim their hedges with a damn lawnmower! All I am trying to say is that doctors, at times, should be held more accountable for their actions and this world needs a whole lot more common sense that more stupid laws that allow people to bring such frivalous lawsuits. Okay, end of rant! Take care. Mike
