With my last few jobs I have had too much time to watch tv and listen to the radio at different times during the day. The ads for class action lawsuits and settlement dollars are disgusting. One of the worst I have heard lately is for cash settlement for people who received cancer treatment, and the chemo that saved them caused them to not only lose their hair but to remain bald or with thin hair.
I had surgery to remove my gallbladder several years ago. The surgeon was well regarded by many surgeons in our area. I even asked my doctor/surgeon if he would do the surgery, and he told me the other guy was far better. Before you go in you sign the standard forms that explain the possible complications and risks. A few years later I read that this surgeon it both under investigation by the state board and involved with lawsuits concerning three deaths. All three deaths were caused by normal possible complications and incidents associated with the process. Two were patients over 85, and the other in their 50's. As I read the information this surgeon was far under the national average for these complications, and he performed hundreds of these procedures per year. End result was that the surgeon had his fingers slapped, no fine, a 90 day suspension, and put on a log system similar to truckers - He had a conversion van, and he would sleep while his wife, an RN, would drive him hospital to hospital to operate - State said no more of this. Twelve local small town hospitals dropped him as their primary surgeon. Not because he wasn't good or was careless, but because they all feared lawsuits. Since then you can't get an independent surgeon to come to town, you need to deal with corporate consolidating hospitals for surgeons, and often need to get on a waiting list and travel over 100 miles for a procedure.
