lot about medicine by
watching: soap operas,
medical dramas,
documentaries and news, ha
told reporters after a speech
to the Alberta Medical
Association, h

They have come to expect -

a lotfrom doctors and are
quick to turn to the courts
when dissatlsfied,

About one-third to one-half
of the malpractice claims in
the U.S. were valid.

Medicine has a high profile
in the U.S., he said, Medical
problems of leading figures
for example, are cove!
extensive y by the news
medi

“I aspect we go far over-
board in these areas and I
would suspect that’s not the
case in Canada.”

He also said Canada’s
medicare system has helped
limit the number cf sults
since ‘‘patients have
essentially full health-care
coverage,”

“Ite much less ilkely
they'll gue than if they run
out of insyrance and have to
drain their own aasets’’ as
often happens in the U.S.

Qn the other hand, he cau-
tioned that medicare might
resultin more suits if doctors
were led to sloppiness
through overwork, Some
doctors say they are forced
to handle more patlenta
under medicare to com-
pensate for Inadequate pay-
ments.

Dornette, a professor of
medical jurisprudence at the
University of cincinnati,
also blamed th h in-
eidence of U.S. malpractice
cases on a plethora of
lawyers that does not exist in
Camada. Unoccupied
lawyers wera more inclined
to get involved in complex
suits.

The quality of medical
care in the U.S, is generally
