As soon as I figure this out I will be posting links to sites that will explain the factors behind the malpractice "crisis." Actually, if there is a malpractice crisis in Arkansas, it has to do with the small number of doctors that are allowed to keep malpracticing. Because of my orthopedic background, I get a large number of calls about orthopedic malpractice. Of the 20 orthopedic malpractice cases with which I have been associated in the last seven years, as both counsel and consultant, 16 involved the same six doctors. There are 150 practicing orthopedic surgeons in Arkansas. That means that, in this admittedly small group, 80% of the orthopedic malpractice is committed by 6% of the orthopedic surgeons. Makes you wonder why the other 94% are so reluctant to help the plaintiffs' bar in policing their own profession, doesn't it?<br /><br />JimJim Keeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14031307863039681309noreply@blogger.com0
