- Abstract
The author looks at the factors that contribute to the increasing litigations against physicians. He mentions that the social factors include rising media awareness about the medical facts and fallacies. He notes that over 95% of cases filed against physicians in the consumer fora are being dismissed as not negligent or unproven. He asserts the need to observe the code of ethics, maintain professionalism and pass on the healthy environment of medical practice to the next generation.
