Lookie lookie

The hospitals in the University of Michigan Health System have been encouraging doctors since 2002 to apologize for mistakes. The system's annual attorney fees have since dropped from $3 million to $1 million, and malpractice lawsuits and notices of intent to sue have fallen from 262 filed in 2001 to about 130 per year, said Rick Boothman, a former trial attorney who launched the practice there.


when Doctor's think they are god they get sued

when doctors fess up and have a "transperent" process.... people are less likely to sue them

I know shocking huh
