I too miss those (old) family doctors but I think the trail lawyers were not that important in killing them off. The corporatization of medicine was the culprit, along with government intrusion in health care and drug company corruption that tweaked the practice of medicine in service of pharmaceutical profits. I think we need trial lawyers to pursue the pharmaceutical companies and their puppets to the ends of the earth for their false claims about the "safe and effective" Covid shots. Mostly we need massive political change that shrinks the administrative state, removes immunity statutes for drug companies, and lets the hounds of hell loose on the corporate and governmental monsters who committed these crimes
GREAT comment. 200% how I and many people I am talking with think. We were hoodwinked. Medical Practitioners at every level have been coerced, deceived and intimidated by government and pharmaceutical war against them. Time to set them free.
If you think back to the early 1970s, MDJD, THAT was the era where the Trial Lawyers began unending lawsuits agains MDs - which resulted in ever escalating costs to consumers because the MDs had to pay ever escalating medical MALPRACTICE insurance costs, and many general MD's just quit or retired.
I was practicing medicine in the 1980s and remember it well. But to blame malpractice lawyers for the disaster that is modern corporate medicine is to miss the correct diagnosis by a mile. Trial lawyers are a straw man adversary of the past that distracts from the modern culprits and allows the corporate criminals to continue killing and maiming people with impunity. It is a classic illustration of fighting the last war instead of focusing on the current adversary.
The bottom line to me, who works for many physicians, is if you want respect, you treat the patient's issues, you do not follow protocol's. set up by insurance companies. I have a very dear friend who recently went to MD Anderson in AZ. They told her how they would treat her nodule of the breast.
She asked many questions about why they recommend what they recommend and at the end of the appointment she knew that this was a 'cancer machine'.
She went elsewhere and is doing well, without million dollar chemotherapy. Big pharma loses, she wins.
At the end of the day, I am not fan of drug companies who mislead doctors to feel as if they do not prescribe drugs for a symptom, they could be sued.
The definition of coercion is to strong-arm them to do what they are told without any evidence. This is very disconcerting to me.
I believe you are totally correct vis-'a-vis "modern corporate" medicine, MDJD.
My point is that back then - with the Trial Lawyers scalp hunting the general MD profession - and individual "family" doctors being easy pickings- that traditional form of medicine vanished
in the USA; and actual costs of medical care for the average American family started to skyrocket along with individual and family medical insurance premiums.
Speaking of the Trial Lawyers, one rarely hears the term these days.
