Bariatric-related medical malpractice experience: survey results among ASMBS members.

ABSTRACT INCREASES IN THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS WHO UNDERGO BARIATRIC SURGERY. MAINTAINING ADEQUATE NUTRITION, PREVENTING LOSSES OF LEAN BODY MASS, AND REDUCING RISKS OF VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES CAN BE CHALLENGING AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY. BARIATRIC SURGERY WITHOUT NUTRITION COUNSELING IS NOT ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE LONG-TERM BEHAVIOR CHANGE THAT SUPPORTS HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS, WEIGHT LOSS MAINTENANCE, OR PROMOTE DIETARY CHANGES AFTER WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. THIS ARTICLE DISCUSSES THE NUTRITIONAL CHALLENGES THAT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF BARIATRIC SURGERY AND SPECIFIC STRATEGIES NEEDED TO HELP GUIDE BOTH THE CLIENT AND HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.

Nutritional Challenges and Strategies for the Bariatric Patient and How Fitness Professionals Can Provide Support

Does "common insurance" shared by the defendant-physician and the medical expert-witness establish an expert bias? In the past ten to fifteen years, the common insurance question has received attention by the state courts. It has been well understood that "evidence" of the presence or absence of liability insurance is simply inadmissible to prove fault pursuant to the Federal Rule of Evidence 411. Rule 411, however, is not a complete bar to admissibility and allows the trial court to admit evidence of liability insurance to prove a witness's bias or prejudice. This paper explores the various "models" of common insurance evidence, the theory of common insurance "bias" and the professional risk potentially assumed by expert witnesses who give false testimony.

Insuring Bias: Does Evidence Of Common Insurance Demonstrate Relevant Expert Witness Bias In Medical Negligence Litigation?, 55 Duquesne L. Rev. -- (forthcoming 2017)

Especially in surgical specialties, there is continually increasing physician involvement in medical malpractice litigation across the United States. The 1970s “medical malpractice crisis” sparked a medicolegal revolution based on tort reform. National tort reform has seen marginal success; however, significant reform has occurred at the state level. Advocates and opponents have debated the benefits of tort reform since its inception.
