Georgetown Study Finds Medical Malpractice Is Not Random

MedicalResearch.com Interview with:

David A. Hyman, JD, MD The Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Health Law & Policy Georgetown University Law Center Washington, DC MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Many doctors believe medical malpractice claiming is effectively random — meaning good doctors are equally likely as bad doctors to end up being the target of a malpractice claim.  Past research has studied whether physicians with 2 paid claims are likely to have another claim than doctors with 1 paid claim. We study whether physicians with 1 paid claim are more likely to have another paid claim, compared to physicians with zero paid claims.  We also compare the pattern of observed claims with what we would expect to find if claiming were truly random (by running a simulation). MedicalResearch.com: What are the main findings? Response:  Physicians with a single paid claim are 4x as likely to have a future claim than physicians with zero paid claims.  We find a similar pattern in both high-risk and lower-risk specialties.  We also find no evidence that public disclosure of paid claims has any impact on these patterns — meaning there is no “blood in the water” effect.    MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report? Response: Medical malpractice is not random. MedicalResearch.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a results of this study? Response: We suggest further research on how to intervene with physicians to prevent future claims and harm to patients. Citation: Hyman DA, Lerner J, Magid DJ, Black B.

According to Miller sign language is a form of communication that uses mainly hand movements to convey messages. Most sign languages are used by people who are hearing impaired as their primary form of communication. As Miller states, sign language provides a fully competent communication for its users, just as spoken language does [(Miller, Barbara. Cultural Anthropology in a Globalizing World (Page 177, Chapter 9)]. Furthermore, sign language is not a universal language — each country has its sign language, and regions have dialects, much like the many languages spoken all over the world. In different parts of the world, many varieties of sign language exist, including American Sign Language (ASL). Like any spoken language, ASL is mostly practiced in the US and Canada, and it is a language with its own unique rules of grammar and syntax. According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDOCD) the exact beginnings of ASL are not clear, but some suggest that it arose more than 200 years ago from the intermixing of local sign languages from Native American tribes and French Sign Language that have melded and changed into a rich, complex, and a mature language. On Thursday, October the 25th, I visited my close friend Austin Rutland, a student at the Gallaudet University and a famous coffee blogger in DC. While we were walking from the University campus to his apartment, Austin asked me to wait for him until he would get his coffee. To my surprise, we have stopped at the first Starbucks coffee shop in the United States where every single employee is fluent in American Sign Language. As seen on the picture, the entrance says “Welcome to Starbucks Coffee” in ASL and has a board inside with different “signs of the day.” Starbucks chose the H Street block at the Northeast of DC for its inaugural ASL store because of its proximity to Gallaudet University, the world’s only liberal arts university for the deaf and hard of hearing people. From an anthropological perspective, I would like to know how the introduction of more stores/restaurants/theatres/cinema with personnel fluent in ASL would affect the DC society and people’s perception of the deaf.

 Another term Miller defines in Chapter 9 is language family, which is a group of languages that descend from a parent language. A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language or parental language, called the proto-language of that family [(Miller, Barbara. Cultural Anthropology in a Globalizing World (Page 185, Chapter 9)]. The term “family” reflects a tree-like model of language origination in historical linguistics, which makes use of a metaphor comparing languages to people in a biological family tree. According to Bruce Rowe a “living language” is simply one that is used as the primary form of communication of a group of people. There are also many dead and extinct languages, as well as some that are still insufficiently studied to be classified, or are even unknown outside their respective speech communities (Rowe, Bruce M. (2015). A Concise Introduction to Linguistics. pp. 340). Furthermore, one of the branches of the language family is Proto-Indo-European (PIE). It is the linguistic reconstruction of the hypothetical common ancestor of the Indo-European languages, the most widely spoken language family in the world. The linguistic divergence throughout millennia led to the evolution of the current descendants, the modern Indo-European languages. Today, the descendant languages of PIE with the most speakers are Spanish, English, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, German, Persian, French, and Greek.  The picture above shows my best friend’s desk who is currently studying at the Georgetown University Law Center focusing on international litigation. As we can see there are books focusing on criminal law, property law, constitutional and administrative law. It is well known that the American legal system has a lot of Latin terminology in it. Latin is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. All Romance languages are descendants of Latin dialects and the Latin alphabet itself is derived from the Greek and Phoenician alphabets. The expansion of the Roman Empire over continental Europe, England, Northern Africa and portions of the Middle East resulted in the development of dialects spoken in different parts of former Roman Empire that eventually evolved into dozens of distinct languages across the Indo-European continent. From an Anthropological perspective I would like to know more about how much the Indo-European languages have affected the development of countries not belonging to the “Old-World.”

@swaghermagazine ・・・ First study focused on “adultification” of black girls shows significant bias toward girls starting at age 5, younger than in previous research on black boys. Read more about the study conducted by Rebecca Epstein, Jamillia Blake, and Thalia Gonzalez. #blackgirls #adultification #inequality #promiscuity #georgetownlaw #research
