Why Don't Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller
Why Don't Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller
Michigan Law Review
Health care in America is an expensive, complicated, inefficient, tangled mess - everybody says so. Patients decry its complexity, health care executives bemoan its lack of coherence, physicians plead for universal coverage to simplify their lives so they can just get on with taking care of patients, and everyone complains about health care costs. The best health care in the world is theoretically available here, but we deliver and pay for it in some of the world's worst ways. Occam's razor ("Among competing hypotheses, favor the simplest one") is of little help here. There are no simple hypotheses - everything …

Nearly 170 years ago, in the classic first volume of his Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville observed, "Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question." De Tocqueville viewed this as a peculiarly U.S. development. He attributed it to the authority of the judiciary in the United States to review governmental enactments and establish individual rights based on judicial interpretation of the federal and state constitution. "Whenever a law that the judge holds to be unconstitutional is invoked in a tribunal of the United States, he may …

Australia's "Most Extreme Case": A New Alternative For U.S. Medical Malpractice Liability Reform, Steven T. Masada
Australia's "Most Extreme Case": A New Alternative For U.S. Medical Malpractice Liability Reform, Steven T. Masada
Washington International Law Journal
The United States currently confronts a severe increase in medical costs and a simultaneous decrease in the availability of health care services. A nearly identical situation recently emerged in the Commonwealth of Australia. This phenomenon, often labeled the "medical malpractice crisis," results in part from an increasing litigious trend spurred on by the appeal of potentially enormous damage awards. More lawsuits filed and increased award amounts raise the liability of health care providers and generate uncertainty in the medical malpractice insurance market. This in turn drives up the costs of insurance policy premiums and ultimately forces health care providers to …

A Quantitative Methodology For Determining The Need For Exposure-Prompted Medical Monitoring, Christopher P. Guzelian, Bruce E. Hillner, Philip S. Guzelian
Indiana Law Journal
Some toxic exposures to drugs or other environmental chemicals may create an increased risk of future disease for which periodic preventive medical screening might be desirable. However, many of these risks, even if unacceptable as a matter of public health policy, might still not be significant enough for medical monitoring (periodic diagnostic screening for latent illnesses or medical conditions) to be an appropriate medical intervention. This somewhat unintuitive, but statistically certain, conclusion can be demonstrated in relatively simple mathematical terms. Accordingly, we introduce Bayes's Rule and decision analysis, a quantitative methodology commonly employed by medical practitioners. A review of current …

On Kamisar, Killing, And The Future Of Physician-Assisted Death, Norman L. Cantor
On Kamisar, Killing, And The Future Of Physician-Assisted Death, Norman L. Cantor
Michigan Law Review
Tens - perhaps hundreds - of thousands of trees could have been spared over the last forty-five years had opponents of physician-assisted death only been content to let Yale Kamisar be their exclusive spokesperson. Their movement would have lost no significant substance or persuasive force, for Kamisar's 1958 article - Some Non-Religious Views Against Proposed 'Mercy-Killing' Legislation - presaged the shape and content of the subsequent forty-five year debate over legalizing physician-assisted death ("PAD" ). Kamisar's article preceded by years the development of a whole jurisprudence relating to the withholding/withdrawing of life-sustaining medical treatment ("LSMT") and the administration of pain-relief …
