OMG, one third of which annual expenses?

Is he practicing out of a van at the bus lot?

Isn’t “his wife” your daughter?

When you take your car to the mechanic do you accept some responsibility when the brakes give out on your way home?

Why would the patient want them to?

Why would the patient need to purchase financial protection for their law suit against the doctor who operated on the wrong limb?
