There’s nothing like a voicemail collection message to a deceased spouse (10 days deceased) about a $1000.00 deductible to set somebody off-especially when the bill was mailed day 3 post AND paid online on day 8.

I got that call.

Of course, the subtext of all this is that most lawsuits are apparently being filed because of someone’s ego and hurt fewwings instead of actual legitimate harm.

This comports with research showing that the best statistical indicator of whether a doctor will be sued is his bedside manner rather than his actual skill as a physician.
