Los Angeles doctors to curb services over malpractice hikes
Top medical officers from eight Los Angeles hospitals said Friday that physicians will cut back services starting January 1 in protest of rising malpractice insurance rates. Chiefs of staff from St. Vincent's, Good Samaritan, California, Midway, Queen of Angels, Orthopedic, Hollywood Presbyterian and others reported staffs voted to limit or halt nonemergency care, urging Southern California patients to join the protest. They called the rates an impossible burden on doctors and patients and criticized state government for no solution after months of deliberation.
