Washington medical malpractice: Vote yes on I-330. “Earlier this year I found myself staring at my computer screen reading and re-reading an e-mail I did not want to send. I knew that once I clicked ‘submit’ I would be locked into a path that I didn’t want to go down, because at the end of it I would no longer be a doctor. After seven years of helping families bring their babies into the world, of working with women before, during and after pregnancies to keep them (and their children) healthy, I would no longer be able to be there for my patients.”
