Veteran Virginia Beach Medical Malpractice Lawyer Jim Lewis Speaks Out About Bad Doctors and Medical Mistakes

In one of his best articles ever, Jim Lewis writes about how medical mistakes happen and the need for doctors and hospitals to kick out accident prone physicians. When is a surgical mistake during an operation a basis for a medical malpractice lawsuit?  Can a hospital cut off the privileges of a bad doctor?  Why does it seem that although most doctors are caring, competent professionals, there are a few bad apples that seem to injure or kill numerous patients?  These and other questions are addressed in Jim’s strong and thoughtful piece about medical malpractice in Virginia Beach.
