Unnecessary Surgeries Noted as Prevalent Issue

USA Today reports on what it says are “tens of thousands” of unnecessary surgeries that are performed each year. USA Today made the assessment after viewing “government records and medical databases finds.” In fact, “unnecessary surgeries might account for 10% to 20% of all operations in some specialties, including a wide range of cardiac procedures.” In the last seven years, over “1,000 doctors have made payments to settle or close malpractice claims in surgical cases that involved allegations of unnecessary or inappropriate procedures.” Of course, there are also unneeded costs associated with the surgeries.

From the American Association for Justice news release.

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
