It's a difficult burden to provide care and treatment in a climate in which medical malpractice is one of the potential outcomes. It certainly has to change the care they provide. |
There are people who feel malpractice cases go away because someone apologizes. I don't believe that. They go away based on their merit. Whether there's an apology or an acknowledgment of fault doesn't seem to be a key factor in the furtherance and continuing litigation in malpractice cases. The fact is more important than the admission of the fact. |
