It’d be nice to see the state medical boards go after the docs that run up these fraudulent bills… But they never seem to, or if they do, they never seem to get reported.

There are 45,415 lawyers here in PA, and something over 2% of us devote our practices primarily to fake injury work. We even have CLE’s on the subject. What you fail to mention, however, is that 87% of that fake injury work is done pro bono.

Wait a second. Did I just publish an utterly undocumented, wildly implausible, and plainly confabulated statistic on the internet? No matter. Thousands of people do it.
