I mean, if there is something really serious going on and I need my doc to "take a shot" at doing the near impossible, will he feel comfortable or able to do so, in this litigious world lawyers and claimants have created? I wouldn't take any unnecessary risks if I knew a lawyer would be breathing down my neck the first chance they could. Heck, I'd play it safe and let the patient bear the burden of this hyper-legal world we live in... just sayin...

Of course everybody has off days, why shouldn't surgeons? It's only the ones who pretend to be perfect that come totally unhinged when everything doesn't go as planned. I remember observing one of my less-favorite vascular surgeons as she realized she was in way over her head, and didn't have the good sense to call in a backup surgeon until it was almost too late. <BR/>It never hurts to admit being human, I say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-24776035212157306362007-03-12T13:00:00.000-07:002007-03-12T13:00:00.000-07:00Dr. Schwab,I can't speak to the medical world (exc...Dr. Schwab,<BR/>I can't speak to the medical world (except for being a patient on numerous occasions), but I wanted to tell you how much I needed to read the topic of your post today. I have a 3.8 GPA in college and I'm on the National Dean's List and I'm attending college as a gift to my trauma surgeon, but I just learned that I failed my huge research essay in Composition II (really, really bad considering that I love to write historical novels). So anyway, I think a good doctor is also a good psychiatrist (whether they know it or not).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
