Dismissed by the court and patient sanctioned $100. Ronald E. Ainsworth -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of DoctorJoe@aol.com Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2004 4:57 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Challenge This was a challenge by a lawyer somewhere (I didn't notice the state) who claims frivolous lawsuits, at least in medical malpractice, DON'T EXIST. I feel otherwise but don't have time to go crazy looking for some now (besides, they'd be at the district court level and probably difficult to find on computer). Soooooo, does anyone have one they can give me (or more than one) that I can answer with? Joe P. -- Here's his note: I will go further. I challenge anyone on this list to give me a case cite which I will research by calling the clerk of court in the county referenced where a clear frivolous malpractice suit has been filed. I will post back for all to see. Surely, in the 50 states of the United States someone can give a case name and civil action number. It is simply prohibitively expensive to bring a frivolous suit. I have spent as little as 20,000 and up to 250,000 of my firm's money to prosecute malpractice cases. I will not bring a case that I think is borderline or frivolous because it is simply too expensive and further, stupid to do so. I keep hearing that the frivolous lawsuits are out of control but every time I challenge a doctor to give me a case cite, they get the 1000 yard stare and start squawking about lawyers being the bane of society. Once again, cite me a case or some of the thousands that doctors claim are driving them out of business.

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.
