Calling All Doctors...

I'm working on a piece about medical malpractice that I think will be very informative, and I'd like to hear from some doctors to get some feedback on the following issues:

1: Why don't doctors lobby for caps on insurance premiums, instead of caps on damages to victims?

2: Why is there a "wall of silence" in the medical industry that means most doctors won't testify against another doctor, no matter how obvious or egregious the malpractice?

3: Would you, as a doctor, file a malpractice suit against another doctor if you believed malpractice was committed?

4: What changes, besides caps on damages, do you believe would benefit the medical malpractice system as it is today?

5: For those doctors who have been sued for malpractice, what was your experience like?

Any responses will be confidential, unless you give me permission to publish your name. Please e-mail me at justinian at corpreform dotcom.
