We wrote LETHAL RHYTHM to help the public understand the extreme harm the current tort system has visited upon medical care. Doctors who have been sued or who have seen their colleagues collapse under the weight of litigation, approach their patients differently—if they remain in medicine at all. Our hope is that this book will stimulate change in the malpractice system for the good of the profession, and most importantly, for our patients.
