Re: States Move to Curb Nursing Home SuitsFrom: David Priver, MD (dpriver@aol.com)Thu Jul 10 17:00:15 2003
The issue is "what is true negligence in the nursing home setting"? While no one wants to see an elderly loved one suffer needlessly, we must remember that old, infirm people develop decubiti and die of pneumonia despite the best of care. If we continue to permit nursing homes to be subject to all these lawsuits, then it really won't matter who is right or wrong: the proprietors will correctly judge that there are easier ways to make a living and they will close down, at which point your mother and mine will have no place to go. I hope I live long enough for my fellow Democrats to realize that the lawsuit crisis is very much a consumer issue. Consumers suffer when products are withdrawn from the market or become prohibitively expensive as a result of suits. We need a no-fault system like they have in New Zealand, but that's for another discussion. DMP

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.
