We have to quit sueing our Doctors. Yes, there should be tests and standards that they must meet in order to be Doctors.

The whole point is we won't have any Doctors if we continue to allow law suits. We have rich Lawyers. We continue to complain about Health Care Cost. Who do you think pays for the Doctors Malpractice Insurance? We have turned our whole county upside down and it's got to stop. Responsibility for ones self is the answer. Not playing the blame game. Life happens, death happens. We're only passing thru this world.
