Author(s):
Abstract:
Medical malpractice has not yet become a serious problem in North Carolina, but nationally, the frequency of lawsuits and claims has greatly increased. This liability crisis has resulted from cases of negligent care, suits brought upon by professional colleagues, media publicity, impersonal doctor-patient relationships, and absence of trust.
