“I commend West Virginia General Assembly and the governor for passing this reform, the Medical Justice Act... nobody, no physician certainly, is trying to deny a patient the access to a redress of grievances in a situation where they have been injured or a family member has lost their life because of practice below the standard of care... I have unfortunately, over a 30-year career in OB/GYN with 5,200 deliveries, been involved in a couple or three lawsuits where myself, along with six or eight or 10 other people, were named, and in at least one of those cases I was pulling for the plaintiff. I felt that they deserved just compensation and was glad when they received it.”
