last year my feet and legs were really messed up by a podiatrist whose answer for everything was bulkier shoes and bigger orthortics..... his treatment did nothing but set me back, and it was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life.
then yesterday, while searching for some court records, i did a search on the guy's name name and discovered that he has been sued at least three times in this county for malpractice since 1999........ once case was dismissed, one was settled out of court, and i don't know what became of the other one.
my question is, how common is it for doctors to get sued?? should i take this to mean that the guy is indeed a quack, or is three malpractice lawsuits really not that big of a deal?
