What people need to understand is that patients need to be nice to the doctor as well.
Agreed. but the patient wasn't mean; he had a problem with needles/the IV. This happens.

What happens if the patient gets aggressive?
legal medical restraints and ativan.

It sucks I'm unsure about this, but the hemorrhoid diagnosis actually could be detrimental to the patient if his colonoscopy was billed as a screening benefit (i.e. preventative). Any medical problems uncovered during the course of a screening colonoscopy automatically coverts the procedure to a medical colonoscopy, which is not a 100% covered service.
You may be correct. Each polyp is out of pocket and can be $250 per polyp. I blame the attorney for not making this the issue. he didn't so something is up.
Even though it sucks it may have been done as a courtesy and is GI routine but it is a no no. falsification of medical records is falsification of medical records; could be the case
ETA: if the patient was unremarkable/clean his bill would remain the same so your theory does not apply.
As well as, if they found what they glean as polyps that look cancerous and patient was belly up full of them. Their discussion could have been about this and very harmful to the patient-to hear the everyday talk i e...well this one has - months to live blah blah blah.

Unless you are getting a splinter pulled from your toe or some similar barely medical need, you should NEVER go to an Urgent Care clinic.

Plus premiums my man. Family health insurance average is about $13k per year in this country. Thats pretty absurd.

And that doctor was dismissed from case.....meanwhile the comedian anesthesiologist lost her career
He was dismissed because he settled at the courthouse door. He did not get off scott free. I know the article doesn't say that because I am sure the settlement was confidential but trust me. He paid.

She was the one who falsified the records. Not the gastroenterologist. That is why he got off.

now people can be sued for their thoughts because:
me awake is to your thoughts
as
me asleep is to your speaking.
both of the scenarios produce exactly the same result.

No, he didn't.
There isn't a single medmal claims agent in this country that would have agreed to a settlement on the claim against Dr. Shah, assuming the printed story is accurate. HE was dropped as defendant b/c there was no case against him.
It's not the docs money paying for a settlement.

What you pay to the insurance company is between you and the insurance company It's the insurance company raping your wallet, not the MD.

Well except for the provider agreement where my insurer agrees to pay the doctor out of my and other insured's premium dollars.
Let's not act like the astronomical cost of health care isn't the driving force behind health care insurance premium increases.

Well you've no idea how much self pay is going on in this hospital. I know plenty of people don't pay their bill, but go look up what's going on with medicaid and what CFOs are doing to counteract the issue. Are you insinuating hospitals should be able to turn away folks in need if they don't have insurance?
Posted on 6/25/15 at 3:24 pm to Pax Regis
Do you think the insurance company pays what you pay to the individual providers? Hell no, they're getting rich, and so is the hospital/facility CEO where most of your payment goes.
What do suggest health cost by the way?

The GI falsified the medical record. That is malpractice. He paid.

That's not what the article said. It said the tech entered the 445.6 at the behest of the anesthesiologist. Which is completely out of whack, and would infuriate all the GI's I know, but I can only go off of what the article said.

Why would the plaintiff settle on the only claim that actually qualified as malpractice, yet pursue the others? If your scenario is accurate, of course.

Doctors should use their leverage to negotiate a better deal with the hospital then. Besides, I don't know any poor docs other than the ones that took their fortune from practicing medicine then blew it on bad investments.
And as for what it should cost? I'll open up with what premiums were ten years ago plus annual adjustment for inflation. I'd go for that.

Still had medmal against the anesthesiologist and she is where the heat in the case was. Definitely taking her to a jury. The GI was liable but his was mostly from letting that all go on. The medical record is is responsibility.
