Brother-in-law is a doctor so I know it's not all rosy. I never said the Majority are in it just for the money, but I did say that the green takes precedence for many. I, unfortunately, think money...

Claims with merit get indemnified by me. Got liability, causation and damages you get paid. Anything that cant be weighed or measured goes in the pain and suffering bucket. Doctors need to run...
