Hell has frozen over. Lawyers and doctors compromise on a “mini-mal” solution in Washington state:
“I do applaud all sides for coming together to create a compromise solution,” Hewitt said in a news release. “But I think it’s important that we don’t lose sight of the fact that we have not solved our medical liability problems. This solution could be summed up as ‘mini-mal.’ It’s a bit like having your toe worked on when you need bypass surgery.
It’s great to fix your toe, but that’s the easy part. We won’t get to true liability reform until we operate on the heart of the matter.”
