Doctors in Court
The surgeon realized that once he was in court, he was in someone’s else’s operating room. And he was no longer in charge of the operation. Some myths are of our own making. Human nature demands an explanation, so when the timing seems right, we assume the cause of an ailment is whatever preceded it. This medical myth arises from our tendency to look for patterns in random events. If it rains and our joints hurt, we attribute the pain to the weather, forgetting about all the times it rained and nothing ached. –Schneiderman Feedback . . . Medical Myths originate when someone else pays the medical bills. Myths disappear when Patients pay Appropriate Deductibles and Co-payments on Every Service. * * * * * |
