“The court system through the eyes of a surgeon sued for malpractice/The jury needed just 15 minutes to end the case, but first orthopedist Stephen M. McCollam had to live under its cloud for four years.” Outstandingly reported account of a surgeon’s professional liability trial from the standpoint of the defendant and his family as well as the lawyers on both sides. Long, detailed, and in PDF format, but must reading (S. Richard Gard, Jr., “What the Doctor Saw”, Fulton County Daily Report (Atlanta), Jan. 31). Plus: letters, some very angry, from lawyers and other readers of the Daily Report (Feb. 7); Feb. 7 follow-up from Gard, who’s editor and publisher of the Daily Report as well as the author of the piece (via SymTym).
