Reply #31: I agree with all of you on some things and none of you on all of them.

The public has some responsibility too. The Drs order all the test now to CYA in case of a law suit. I've even offered a written statement that I won't sure them, but to no avail. I well remember the days when we all just went to a GP, he listened to your complaint, took your BP, looked at your throat, checked your heart rate, and most of the time made his diagnosis. Many times, the prescription he recommended was given to you from his samples. My GP delivered both my babies, and when the one time occurred when he believed I needed to see a specialist, there was no hesitation to do so.

Something has caused Americans to seek the courts for every damn thing these days. I don't know what it was, or how to change it, but I think we need a radical mindset change in this country! Yes, there is sometimes negligence, or incompetence, but far more times there is not. Somehow, we need to convince people that it's just wrong to attempt to find fault where there is none, and without setting caps on settlements, we need to instill some common sense back into everything!
