"Borderline cases"From: Lynn D. Montgomery, M.D. (apgar10@montanadsl.net)Wed Jul 9 14:00:50 2003
Listers, I agree with the majority here that plaintiff attorneys certainly do pursue cases, regardless of their merit. I practiced general OB/GYN for 5 years in North Dakota. The primary med malpractice plaintiff's attorney there is a guy who was a second year family practice resident through the University of Minnesota and got dismissed from the program and had his medical license revoked for gross sexual misconduct with patients. Subsequent to that, he got admitted to law school (makes a statement about lawyers right there) and now he spends his time suing physicians in the upper Midwest. I heard today that Fargo is among the top five communities for medical malpractice risk and this guy is essentially single-handedly responsible for the risk there. He will file on anything and everything. He makes money on most cases cause the insurance companies will routinely offer him something to just go away, regardless of the merit. Unfortunately, the larger firms there doing defense work don't scream too loud because they obviously reap the benefits of defending all the cases he files - talk about police OUR own. I was deposed by him on one occasion and at the completion of the depo, I said, "So, I understand you have a little gynecology in your background as well"...

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.
