Coffee should be able to be drunk immediately when they hand it to you?
OK - I finally get it - you're a troll - and I'm not one to pull out the troll card at the drop of a hat - probably done it 3 times in 5 years of surfing. I'm a little slow sometimes.

At the moment I'm working for an insurance company cleaning up files that are years out of compliance and horribly messed up. But I am going back to school to finish up my post grad work.
So I do have a bit of experience handling medical incompetence & dealing with lawyers.
With regards to "trivializing"... It's called Satire
sat·ire n. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit. The branch of literature constituting such works. See Synonyms at caricature. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Latin satira, probably alteration (influenced by Greek satur, satyr, and saturos, burlesque of a mythical episode), of (lanx) satura, fruit (plate) mixture, from feminine of satur, sated, well-fitted. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]
PS I've had personal experiance with both good MD's & Bad. Lawsuits don't scare good MD's.
In some states, such a referral fee is illegal. If you don't do work you don't get paid.

Probably had a car without a cup holder. You youngsters don't remember, but they used to make 'em that way.
And with that, having accomplished nothing, I'm quitting this thread.
I'll try to come visit y'all in the hospital as often as I can.
Concord is near Charlotte. They also built a box near Wilmington and it is empty.
He was making a point. One that a bunch of you don't seem to understand. Bush hates lawyers but he hired a bunch when being interviewed over the CIA outing by Novak.
Domestic car companies used to deliver cars with scores of defects. They claimed that was the best they could do until faced with Japanese competition. Now they count defects per hundred cars. The medical industry is where the domestic car industry was decades ago. I'm glad to hear that Duke successfully treated your daughter but patients should not be relying on serendipity while in a hospital. Duke and government regulators found terrible flaws in their system after the transplant error. That might not seem too bad but just a few years prior, other problems were found at Duke that were so bad that they were removed from the list to run certain medical studies... an extreme sanction used because Duke failed to respond to several warnings about their processes. Duke promised to clean up their act then but apparently did not. We will never know what Duke paid in damages for the transplant error because it was kept confidential. Most of these messes are no longer public knowledge because Duke, like many hospitals, sneak in a binding arbitration clause with all the other papers you sign at admission. That way the cases never get to court and don't face much public scrutiny.
Yes, you've made it quite clear that you can't think for yourself and depend on others to look out for you.
Matt
That's OK, don't bother, you might slip and fall on the way in and sue the hospital. My medical care costs enough already. Please just stay home with your remote control and don't do anything where you might hurt yourself.
Matt
Wrong again. The Wilmington plant is running very well.
Matt
Lawsuits like that are so frivolous....I really hope that someone does something to end them.
It's no one's fault but your own if you eat until you get sick and find yourself overweight.
Good LORD Matt !
Just What are you encouraging?
Bill will get repetitive strain injury in his thumb from the remote, TV news induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, onset of obesity and a propensity for diabetes from the food the TV commercials are "forcing" him to consume, back strain from trying to get off his ass to go to the refrigerator, etc, etc, etc.....
Quick, someone call that man a Lawyer !
LOL!
What about the heart attack he gets when he try's dialing the lawyer?
The problem with society today is, every wants to blame everyone else!
I've had cars without cup holders, and I've never put cups of hot coffee between my legs! My nuts were as important to me then, as they are to me now!
Refinish King
OK, Bill you're a Lawyer! Actually, I hadn't thought of that before, but I'll bet he IS a lawyer. That would explain is POV.
Matt
Yes you are correct. The plants were closed but are now open.

No - they just loudly complain about the malpractice insurance premiums. So you're telling me that a good physician is not concerned about being sued for something that is not his/her fault when real world says they should be? You're FOS.
Bill Putney (to reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with "x")
Lawsuits don't scare Good MD's. Jury's full of incompetent morons do.
You have no doubt noticed that America is the land of doctors with sky high malpractice insurance premiums.
But, have you also noticed that the US is also the land where the put the determination of financial compensation in the hands of complete idiots?
What other civilized country does that? If you can't see that connection there is little else that I can do to explain my position.
PS The Trailer park & the Springer show isn't actually the real world. Oh also, just a FYI that Hilton girl's TV show isn't the "real world either" A good doctor screens and educates his patients before he ever lifts a scalpel.
PPS. Don't take it so personally, it's just an opinion.
You are much closer now, but the Wilmington plant was never shut down ... other than when the occasional hurricane threatens.
Matt
How do you separate the two (hint: you can't unless you settle as if you are guilty even if you aren't). Sounds like a semantics game to me. Jurys full of incompetent morons are *WHY* good MD's might ought to be scared of lawsuits.
Bill Putney (to reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with "x")
I appreciate that, Art. She's now married and has a son, and is the picture of health.
I'll take your word for it. That is unfortunate. Again, not making excuses for them, but you will find glaring examples of human fallibility no matter what the system. I guess you have to ask which system has the best balance of oversight and correction of problems, and still get results at a reasonable cost. I would agree with you that we are far from the ideal (similar to what Churchill said about Democracy being "...the worst form of government except for all the others").
