Moving forward

At the moment, the trial (The Estate of P___ Lastname v. Northside Hospital) is slated for next summer. When the time is closer, I'll see about posting about.

In the meantime, I keep hearing that we have to keep things legal. This is how it should be. If we start talking in mistruths, then nothing good can come of this. We also have to keep things within the confines of the law. Again, this is how it should be.

The only problem I have is that sometimes we can't get into ethics. We can only litigate against a medical person or facility when they legally or medically have screwed up. We technically can't go after them when their ethics harm or kill someone.

At USFSP, if a student majors in journalism, they must take a semester of Ethics. How about for medicine? Are there no ethics classes for doctors, nurses or hospital/nursing home administrators? If not, why not? And if so, how many who took the class forgot what they learned? If there aren't classes in ethics, shame on medical and business schools. If there are and people have forgotten their ethics, shame on those who forgot.

Karma's a boil on the butt of those who forget the Golden Rule.
