A Harvard University study finds that up to 40% of all malpractice  
suits are groundless:

This bolsters my opinion that we badly need liability caps in the  
US.  There are many towns in NC that don't have doctors to deliver

premiums.  I think we need restraints of damage awards.

Now I'm off to go back to work.  Ugh!
