New batch of reader letters

We’ve posted another batch of letters from readers. Among topics: a Pennsylvania case in which a doctor was ordered to pay for a mistake by nurses in the operating room; an outcry by consumers over the results of a class action (Schwartz v. Citibank) over late fees which is resulting in a $9 million payout in lawyers’ fees and refunds in the range of 18 cents for many credit card holders; a report from a reader that Norton Internet Security is blocking access to our site because we have too much talk about “weapons”, presumably meaning too much discussion of firearms litigation; and a letter on the prospect of lawyers’ going after the personal assets of Connecticut doctors in negligence cases after exhausting their insurance coverage.
