Not a gross generalization. Sorry it sounded that way. Making sure to avoid potential lawsuit is number one, as it is the essence of survival. The patient is number one after that, assuming the particular doc has more passion for his patients than his paycheck.
What is the doctor's largest expense? The building lease? The license? The secretaries? The computer system? It is the malpractice insurance. It is so astronomical in some parts of the country there are shortages of doctors.
