re:
To answer your original question, knee problems...um do not relate to the hair follicles on your head. Perhaps the stress on your mind and body could have had some sort of small negative impact on your hair but it is essentially meaningless.
No offense but no one knows all the particulars about this case as we are only hearing one side of the story, not that I do not believe what has been said, I just don't know. As some person once said "there are three sides to every story, yours, mine and the truth".
Medical malpractice is an important issue and a very tough one which essentially impacts all of us to differing degrees because we r all patients at one time or another. There must be a system of checks and balances to assure that patients receive professional and accurate care but medical examinations are often very complicated and doctors are not perfect and should not have to be pigeon holed because of a fears of being sued.
IMO, this particular case could be worth further examination by an attourny as the patient clearly received a poor diagnosis and his quality of life suffered for some time, does that mean he should be awarded a claim or the doctor (or hospital) should be reprimanded....I don't know. Perhaps an accurate diagnosis was near impossible or perhaps the doctor simply missed something that should have been obvious.
To me, the existing problems with malpractice litigation begins and ends with frivolous lawsuits that either get dismissed without any ramifications to those (including lawyers) who bring about the frivolous suit or they get resolved prior to trial because the doctor's insurance company does not want to deal with a drawn out court procedure and/or the doctor wants to avoid any attack on his or her credibility (even if such attacks appear unwarranted). These frivolous suits take away from real malpractice issues and also disenfranchise good doctors who are trying to do the best for their patients.
One of the few good things that Furor Bush attempted to enact was to reform the current state of malpractice litigation but I do not know if any real legislation was passed.
