While much is written and talked that frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits are driving up the costs of medical care for all, hardly ever, if ever, does anyone discuss how the refusal of some doctors to accept responsibility for their negligence and how the mounting of a frivolous defense by a malpractice insurance company drives up the costs for everyone.
Virginia malpractice attorney Ben Glass does in a posting on his blog, Virginia Malpractice News, regarding a medical malpractice claim that he filed where a young woman went in for routine surgery to have a cyst removed from her shoulder, the surgeon did not mark the shoulder prior to the operation, then operated on the wrong shoulder and his malpractice insurance company refused flat out her attempt to settle he claim.

What's the lesson? Tort reform is about evading responsibility, accountability and liability.
Medical Malpractice is a serious case, maybe he should refresh his studies so it wont happen again. But the point, will he be operating again?
