Legal Nurse Consulting Program Article on Malpractice Insurance Importance

Malpractice insurance is critical and to any physician.  Doctors who work with hospitals may have special coverage but when a hospital closes or a doctor operates on his own, then he or she will definitely require some sort of protection.  This is not about being a bad doctor or a good doctor but common sense and protection of one’s practice and life.
