Treat them, but don't elect one.(Letters)(Letter to the Editor)
After several lawsuits, I have to say that I do not like malpractice lawyers ("Line Drawn in War With Trial Lawyers").
Still, even trial lawyers deserve medical care. We, the doctors, should continue our struggle against the scourge of malpractice through political and legal avenues, and not on the unethical basis of denying care to individuals we do not like.
So far, the AMA has failed in its efforts to get tort reform passed on a national level. An opportunity exists to use this election year in our favor.
Everyone who observes the political power struggle between George W. Bush and John F. Kerry knows that the president has made public statements against frivolous lawsuits. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a heart surgeon, has tried and failed to pass S2207, the Pregnancy and Trauma Care Access Protection Act. It was defeated by a Democratic filibuster that effectively prevented a vote on this bill.
