Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Last night on TV I saw the amazing, and very popular Dr. House. It is astounding that his medical staff knows everything about medicine and can perform all tests and procedures without ever looking at a book or a computer. This gives rise to unrealistic performance expectations that people have of their physicians. This leads to more lawsuits and more lawsuits beget increasingly conservative medical approaches -- civilly-liable physicians just won't accommodate your desire to cast a wider net in your medical options. This is not to imply that it would be preferable to treat your physician with the bemused but respectful tolerance that you would afford the mildly retarded. That won't open any doors for you either.
