Letter written to New York Times in response to letter regarding medical malpractice in the April 9 letters section
I disagree with Attorney Robert V. Marrow (Letters, April 9) where he states that attorneys would not spend the time and money required to pursue malpractice suits unless there were strong evidence that medical negligence had occurred.
Some attorneys file suits of questionable merit in hopes that doctors will settle just to escape the needless harassment that such suits, called frivolous suits force upon doctors.
Medical justice will never be achieved if the knowledge of how frivolous malpractice suits needlessly endanger doctors’ reputations and peace of mind, is kept from the public.
