I'm going to bring it up then.<BR/><BR/>G - We didn't threaten litigation outright, but we had a lot of lawyers involved in the crafting of the last letter, and it was very clear what we would be willing to do if necessary. We have a LOT of questions for them for tomorrow.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-76006976402207866722007-06-11T14:53:00.000-04:002007-06-11T14:53:00.000-04:00Snappy comeback I wish I was there with:"You, doct...Snappy comeback I wish I was there with:<BR/><BR/>"You, doctor, have a much lower risk tolerance for medical negligence and malpractice suits than we do. And you should; you're the doctor in charge of Michael's care. Abandon that care, and the risk will become <I>reality</I>."<BR/><BR/>Keep up the pressure.

Ki...Sorry the doctor(s) is(are) being such an ass. Kind of makes you wonder what the guy wrote on his medical school application essay (the one where they're supposed to feign in order to gain acceptance) Maybe you should ask him during his next eval. Better yet, if your dad's case ever gets to be part of rounds, ask him in front of the interns, quoting what he'd said previously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-7414596542922420442007-06-11T14:38:00.000-04:002007-06-11T14:38:00.000-04:00Dagny - Thank you thank you.

My brother asked if we could quote him on that and he said yes.<BR/><BR/>WiB - A good friend whose parents are doctors pointed out that there is a level of risk doctors have to go with. And that nobody, unfortunately, can guarantee us he'll be OK. It sucks, but it makes sense to me, too. I hate it I hate it I hate it.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-41048704936826779782007-06-11T11:03:00.000-04:002007-06-11T11:03:00.000-04:00Um.

I've always looked at that as an either-or kind of thing. But then, I'm no doctor. Of course, this guy doesn't sound like much of one, either. Do you suppose that "douchebaggery" is a legally-defensible term?<BR/><BR/>So sorry about this.
