Actually that is done for all invasive procedures and experimental treatments. None of that removes the patients right to sue or prevents them from suing sucessfully.

My mother has Medicare because she is disabled and gets SSI (lupus). She has no choice but to get treatment at the local government hospital. That hospital won’t treat anybody that won’t sign a waiver whereby they specifically give up their right to sue if malpractice of any sort takes place.

Changes nothing. People on Medicare and Medicaid are the first to sue.

How dense can you be? If you go to the county hospital here for treatment you have to give up your right to sue in order to get treatment.

Contracts signed under duress are not enforceable.

I defy anyone to try to bring a lawsuit against this hospital using your reasoning. A judge would laugh you out of court in a heartbeat.

I brought a lawsuit against that hospital using his reasoning, and when the judge tried to laugh me out of court, I walloped him but good. And it was a real hum-dinger, when he woke up his clothes were out of style. And who was laughing then? I was. All the way to the bank. Now, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Ok, what hospital is "this hospital" then? The one you are admitted to?



lol! Sorry, I'm out.

Yes you are intellectually superior to everyone here. No one stands a chance, you should go find some of your peers.

A lawyer you could not be. Ask John Edwards.

Wrong again. I work in health care and get patients to sign consent forms every day of work. No right to sue is given up by any patient anywhere in the US. Patients who get free care are often the first to sue.
