The Public Citizen just released a comprehensive report exposing the hoax of the " US medical malpractice crisis."
The press release accompanying the release of the report says:
The real problems are a lack of attention to patient safety, the high incidence of preventable medical error and the lack of accountability for a small set of doctors who account for a majority of medical malpractice payments, the report reveals. The report also presents several recommendations for Congress, state governments and hospitals to reduce health care costs and save lives.
