Re: Nice Little Piece On 'Tort Reform'From: art fougner, md (evsono@pipeline.com)Thu May 15 08:36:08 2003
Dean - thanks - here's my fave part : " ... Bob Estes, a Fayetteville, Ark., attorney who heads the Trial Lawyers Association, agreed, though he wasn't happy about it. Estes said that only two of the Senate's 35 senators are lawyers and that almost the entire body is composed of freshmen because of term limits. He said that his explanation that tort law developed to ensure victims weren't left without compensation couldn't compete with stories of small businessmen saddled with huge verdicts when they were only marginally at fault. "When you have people who don't have the training or the experience to comprehend and understand these complex concepts, they have to depend on lobbyists, and they're not going to get the full picture," Estes said. " this reminds me of what happens in the courtroom when we expect a jury to fathom the medical issues involved. Nice to see what happens when the shoe is on the other foot. art

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
