Two of the most famous medical malpractice cases - at least potentially - in history have occurred in the last year: Joe Murtha and Michael Jackson. In Maryland, we also recently had the St. Joseph's stent debacle which may go down in Maryland history as its most famous medical malpractice cases.
What has surprised a lot of medical malpractice lawyers is how little these cases have reflected the public mood on malpractice. People who learn of these cases simply process them consistent with the world view they already had on the topic of whether malpractice cases are largely meritorious and whether the system needs to be changed.
