Health courts

“… ought to be handled by judges who know from experience the difference between an honest mistake and malpractice.’”

Since when can’t an honest mistake constitute malpractice? One would think that the vast majority of incidents of malpractice result from honest mistake.

The doctors I’ve encountered seem not to be thinking as much as hurrying. I’m a mostly-healty person, seen every once in a while for a pap-smear or a bad cold or during my pregnancy. but it seems every time I see a doctor, he or she is totally dismissive. They seem like they don’t want to listen. I was aghast when my husband went to a doctor after his back “went out” a couple of times. The doctor said, “Hmm sounds like maybe you slipped a disc. Here’s a prescription for a pain killer and a muscle relaxant. See you later.” My husband asked if he could do anything to prevent this happening in the future and doc said, “oh, you know, you’re basic back strengthening exercises. see you later.” Technically, this doctor was doing his job, but was he *really* being a good doctor??

Personally, health courts are retarded. Im only 13 years old and im doing a debate about it. Im on the side that is against health courts. And why? Because look at it people, doctors are already winning most of the cases brought to court! Now we are asking for a court where the doctors will win almost 100% of the time. Why do we need a specially trained jury also? It is the lawayers and judges job to bring it down into common language. What do the people on the jury have to lose? NOTHING!!!! What do the medically trained preofessionals have to lose? Their insurance rates go up and doctors get a worse reputation in that position. Health courts are retarded we should not be for it we should all be against it, unless your a doctor but then your just selfish and want it all for you. Right now in the current legal system, we award money to the patient. Why? It tells the doctor that he shouldntbe screwing up in a time like this. And why are insurance companies rasing the price of medical malpractice insurance? Because they can. Remember this, dont let the fox watch over the henhouse.
