    Yeah, I know just what you mean. Personally I agree that there are definitely times when lawsuits are justified. My girlfriend was on a school trip and her mom was one of the chaperons. Well, something happened and somehow one of her ovaries started twisting while on the trip. They stopped at the hospital that is about 2 blocks away from me during the brief time I live at my parents house during the summer. Unfortunately, the doctors in the ER didn’t give a shit and thought she was just seeking drugs. So instead of running some tests like they should have considering as she was in so much pain, they basically just kicked her out. So they continue home which was another 4 hours away and she has STILL not gotten any better. By the time they got to a hospital there, they had to do surgery and remove the thing. Had they caught it at the first hospital there probably would have been very little to no damage. As if that is not bad enough, when they requested the records from said hospital, they didn’t get them. They got a middle eastern dude’s testicle cat scan records. WTF? As if it was not obvious enough that they were the wrong records because the names were nothing similar, they were polar opposites! Different races, genders, ages, etc! Can anyone say breech of medical privacy? So sometimes lawsuits are good, but overall people would rather sue because they have a scar 1 cm longer than the doctor predicted. Deal people, unless you really have a good reason. Oh yeah, and instead of running the doctors off, lets run all the Ambulance chasing lawyers out!
