Comments on: Medical Malpractice Suits Prevent Doctors from Taking on High-Risk Cases http://www.facesoflawsuitabuse.org/2009/12/medical-malpractice-suits-prevent-doctors-from-taking-on-high-risk-cases/ Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Rachel http://www.facesoflawsuitabuse.org/2009/12/medical-malpractice-suits-prevent-doctors-from-taking-on-high-risk-cases/comment-page-1/#comment-939 Rachel Fri, 31 Dec 2010 12:44:53 +0000 http://facesoflawsuitabuse.org/?p=2793#comment-939 I was diagnosed with a fatal heart condition by a cardiologist and dealt with his "care" nearly passing out driving; the pills for the heart condition, CHF, was causing my blood pressure to go extremely low. So, I wised up and I went to another cardiologist and he did a heart cath and found I didn't have the fatal heart condition. The first idiot even had sent my to the hospital where they make CHF patients comfortable. Luckily, after a near fatal car crash that didn't happen (somehow I pulled into a gas station then went to the ER), I found out the truth. Only took 3 months to find out. It only cost me $15,000 in co-pays and insurance to find out I didn't have a fatal heart condition or even high blood pressure. So, I went to sue the first doctor but the lawyer said I couldn't because they wouldn't make but $250,000. $200,000 would have been eaten by court costs and medical experts. I did the next best thing: I called and reported the doctor to the head of the practice. The doc was removed and now is practicing medicine in a small town instead of a metroarea. So, doctors, what about that true case? Why do doctors protect incompetent morons like this guy? I would have been happy if they had just ripped his license. But, NOOO, docs get away with everything and anything. I'm sorry the good docs get sued by the bad ones should. If you want to reform, how about docs getting rid of the bad docs that make their insurance so high? Never hear docs offer this solution.
