Our Atlanta, Georgia malpractice personal injury law firm has seen doctors protecting other doctors for years. Now there is a new study conducted by the American Medical Association that shows the size of the problem.
Published online Tuesday in the "Journal of the American Medical Association" the survey shows that while 17% of doctors knew of colleagues mistakes or incompetence; 36% do not report the dangerous doctor: Your doctor could be drunk, addicted to drugs or outright incompetent, but other doctors may not blow the whistle. The moral of this story is to make certain that the doctor you choose deserves your respect and confidence before they treat you as a patient.
