Texas is Becoming the Nation’s Dumping Ground for Bad Doctors

By Dina Steele on August 19, 2007 - No comments

Dr. Pamela L. Johnson is an obstetrician/gynecologist who has been forced out of three states due to her incompetence and faulty surgical skills. After having her licenses suspended in both Virginia and New Mexico, as well as being fired by Duke University Medical School in North Carolina, Dr. Johnson has found refuge in Texas.

Three years ago, Texas Lawmakers enacted new medical malpractice laws which establish a zero accountability standard for doctors. Given that patients now have virtually no right to protection from careless and negligent doctors, the Texas lawmakers have also abolished the Office of Patient Protection, which formerly served as an ombudsman for patients harmed by medical malpractice.

The radical “tort reforms” of 2003 have resulted in making Texas the nations dumping ground for bad doctors.
