It's a great example of how we should be trying to re-imagine our health care system, rather than trying to plug holes in various failing levees. Indeed, Dr. Kirsch.

The medical profession and doctor-patient relationships would be well served if we could disclose errors, complications and misguided clinical judgments freely, without fear of retribution. We could learn from our mistakes and medical misadventures, rather than try to obscure them from view. Patients and physicians would be direct beneficiaries of such an enlightened policy. We need to broaden the category of physician statements that would be inadmissible in the medical malpractice arena to encourage doctors to do the right thing. Your goal of fuller disclosure will be very difficult to achieve as long as we have a tort system that routinely ensnares so many innocent physicians. <a href="http://www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com</a> As an attorney, you must be particularly aware of why the medical community avoids admitting error.
