Sorry Works

Apparently, there is a trend in health care to sew. Some cases of malpractice a doctor has said they are sorry, not as an admission of guilt but of sympathy that something bad happened to them, this can be used in court as an admission of guilt. So, insurance companies will advise to just cut off all contact with said people.

While this may help them in court though, someone who gets wronged and hung out, cut off left out of communication is much more likely to get angry and sew, also it makes it easier for lawyers to paint the doctor as a cold uncaring incompetent.

Sorry Works Talks more about it.

I was listening to this on the radio and thought it interesting. What does it say about the legal system / health system? Some states have passed laws that it is ok to say you are sorry.

i guess kindness and genuine concern are the next things that will be thrown away because of PC-ness. humor went away a long time ago. as did racist jokes...
