    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    Nice post Bruce. Health care reform is a daunting quagmire which eludes a reasonable solution. Just ask Bill Clinton.

    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    Are these "other" errors mistakes made by physicians, or nurses, aids, techs, pharmacists? The reason many die each year from infections obtained in the hospital, or nosocomial infections is not the result of malpractice. It is because most people who are hospitalized are extremely ill and...

    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    So are you still attacking doctors, or the U.S health care system. Because it sounds like you are attacking the system, and if you are I am in complete agreement with you. Our system sucks. :lol:

    Human perfection is quite frankly an unrealistic expectation in any form. Checks and balances are in practice. As far as updating patient records, it is an ongoing process, Rome wasn't built in a day. Patience.

    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    Look, I was not complaining about residency salary/hours just trying to demonstrate the work ethic involved. By the way, most Doctor's in private pratice are attendings at hospitals, rounding on their patients in addition to clinic hours. Keep in mind rich doctors still pay practice overhead...

    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    gourmetstylewellness.com, these examples all deal with hairloss, I had a similar experience with my derm, not knowing about propecia sheds. Doctors are not perfect by virtue of the fact that they are human. I understand you are frustrated, but to say every doctor is bad, because you and others had bad experiences...

    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    Do you honestly believe "lazy" individuals could become physicians. Until last year the average medical resident put in over 100 hours per week, with a 36 hour shift every 3 to 4 days. Only last year has legislation been instituted limiting resident's work hours to a max of 80 per week. Hours...

    Doctors for Medical Liability Reform

    Interesting, but how will this be funded? Also, I have been to plenty of mechanics, who have been less than honest with me. I and many others agree with your view on physician empathy preventing lawsuits and increasing patient care and satisfaction. These ideals are now a staple of our...

    Noticed a nice side effect from finasteride

    I don't know if the finasteride caused the improvement in my skin or if it is just coincidence, I may never know. However, it has cleared up dramatically over the past few months, and I couldn't be more pleased. :lol:

    Noticed a nice side effect from finasteride

    Hey everyone, I noticed a beneficial side from the finasteride. I used to get acne on my back. This has been going on for years. Very annoying. Since starting finasteride 4 months ago I have noticed a major improvement in my skin. Back acne is almost all gone. Maybe just a coincidence but who knows...
