Except that, as mentioned elsewhere in the comment thread, you often can't publicly respond to these kinds of allegations because doing so reveals Protected Health Information (PHI) and violates HIPAA.
- knowtheory 15y agoYeah, but one doesn't even need to resort to HIPAA laden facts about specific cases. Is Dr. Tenny out of the norm for malpractice suits? Are most cases settled out of court? What's the norm for settling, is it the Dr's wishes, or the insurance company's? Did the various hospitals/institutions involved have anything to say on Dr. Tenny's tenure working there? There's a lot of information to be had that doesn't speak to specific patients.
- mkopinsky 15y agoEven if he is indeed out of the norm (and I'd imagine he probably is; most doctors don't get written up in the newspaper for having lawsuit after lawsuit), there is still a certain limitation in what he can say.
