Yet another puff piece

Yet another puff piece threatening the plebecy with removal of access to care unless special privileges are granted to the allopathic profession. The link is here.

"
A U.S. study suggests malpractice concerns may deter some medical students from pursuing careers in obstetrics and gynecology."

Another example of how "do no harm" is irrelevant in terms of the patient populace and stops at the pocketbooks of the providers. Medical students are not concerned with meeting the needs of the patient population but instead are placing themselves first.

"
The survey by the University of South Florida`s College of Medicine found the medical malpractice climate in Florida might further reduce patients` access to obstetric care."

This is a backdoor method of attacking even the minimal standard of responsibility to which the allopaths in Florida are held. Florida law requires that allopaths turn in their license to practice after the third adverse medical malpractice ruling. There should never be a first case of incompetency or malpractice, much less the third, from those after whom the term "God-complex" was coined. "Malpractice reform" has nothing to do with stopping the actual malpractice but instead has everything to do with protecting those that commit it.

"Deutsch, noting Florida mirrors a national trend of fewer medical students applying for ob/gyn residencies, hypothesizes student concerns about the rising cost of malpractice premiums and medical liability may contribute to the marked decline of those electing to specialize in ob/gyn."


Another thing to watch for is whitewashing of speculation from allopaths that is put forth using terms such as "hypothesizes" or, even worse, personal lay opinion that is passed for expert opinion.
