| Message | We support. Only other doctors can truely understand the logic behind another's actions and therefore adequately decide what is and isn't malpractice. |
| Date | 23:00:59, January 11, 2006 CET | From |  Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Medical Confidence Proposal |
| Message | I opposed this in the past but I tend to agree with the proposal now. Excessive frivolous lawsuits brought against doctors are not good for anyone and can raise healthcare cost to "unsavory" levels. |
