I should have explained the malpractice payments more fully. The only malpractice payments reported by the department are payments for amounts greater than $100,000. I do understand that some medical specialties are sued at a greater rate and that's the cost of doing business. I also agree that 80% of malpractice is committed by 20% of doctors. That's why this doctor's record should sound alarm bells. Five payments of $100,000 or greater indicates he's one of the 20%. Chris, thanks for the comment.

It's more important to know if the lawsuits were frivolous or based on actual malpractice. My understanding is the 80/20 rule applies to malpractice 20% of doctors cause 80% malpractice. Btw - you should pick a theme that suites you. Art – completely agree; however there are some specialties where getting sued is a reality of practice.
