Intoxication......just like any other job they should be held liable. If you truck and you're drunk the lawsuit could be huge depending.

Amputations....isn't it common hospital policy now to mark the extremity with a NO? I know at the one I worked at this was a common with triple checks.

I also think there should be limits on the lawyers fee! That money was intended for the loss.....not the money grubbin' lawyer.

Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . Is There a Trial Lawyer in the House ? IS THERE A TRIAL LAWYER IN THE HOUSE? by Ann Coulter September 19, 2007 The only "crisis" in health care in this country is that doctors are paid too little. (Also they've come up with nothing to help that poor Dennis Kucinich.) But the Democratic Party treats doctors like they're Klan members. They wail about how much doctors are paid and celebrate the trial lawyers who do absolutely nothing to make society better, but swoop in and steal from the most valuable members of society. Rating: 5
