Part II: The REAL TRUTH About Medical Malpractice Verdicts in Kentucky
Seems my recent post about medical malpractice verdicts in Kentucky got at least one reader stirred up enough to post a comment telling me I was wrong. Well.... I'm not.Kentucky doctors are not leaving the state because of medical malpractice suits (net loss of 19 doctors between 2000 and 2002). And medical malpractice premiums are not a large part of physician's overhead (less that 4% of revenue goes to insurance--physician salaries are 63% of overhead).
But those who want to limit injured patient's rights have never let the facts stand in their way. The phrase "sometimes wrong, but never in doubt comes to mind."
If your really want to know the truth about medical malpractice in Kentucky, read this report authored by an independent non-profit organization founded by Ralph Nader, Public Justice. Here is the report: www.citizen.org/documents/KY_MedMal_Report.pdf

Thanks for writing this! Before I read this, I completely agreed with you on a moral level. Now, I have good scholarship and statistics to add to my thoughts. Victims of medical malpractice absolutely have a right to seek justice. Adding more hurdles to their effort to obtain compensation for serious injury is what is "frivolous".
