Should Doctors Tell Patients the Truth to Avoid Malpractice? You Decide

May 3rd, 2011. By AbiK

We get a lot of interesting comments and emails at LawyersandSettlements.com. Why, just yesterday we received an email from someone who claimed to be the “real” Dolly—yes, as in the cloned sheep from 1996, who—I might add—is widely reported to have passed on to that great pasture in the sky in 2003, and apparently on view in all her taxodermic glory at the Museum of Scotland. But no, we have an actual human who’s emailed us and claims to be Dolly incarnate. Who knew?

Be that as it may, we do also receive some more thought-provoking comments—like this one that came in today from Steven.

Honesty may not always be best in a potential malpractice case. Check out this 2 minute video on YouTube showing an actual case history.

Steven claims that honesty may not be the best policy for doctors to follow when the potential for a medical malpractice case is at hand. Steven was responding to an article that appeared on LawyersandSettlements recently titled, “Doctor Says Honesty Is the Key to Expert Witness Testimony“.

I’ve saved you the trek over to youtube, so his video clip is above. Let us know what you think.
