In Fl last year the medical association managed to get an amendment 
voted into the constitution that punished the lawyers. The lawyers 
turned around and got two amendments in the constitution that punish 
MD's. The bottom line now in FL is if an MD has 3 mal-practice claims 
against him - he/she loses his license for life in FL. I suspect they 
don't settle much in FL now either. Not only that the second amendment 
the Bar managed to get passed by the voters opens all the records of 
MD's to the public.

Boy all this finger pointing accomplishing a lo, yea right..
