"Six of my cases were brought up for review by a tissue committee
controlled by competitors. A nurse (sic), employed by the Saint
Francis Hospital, testified that I had the highest rate of complication. Why such
testimony was admitted is a matter of some interest, in itself. Liability for bearing false
witness is an important related matter, in itself, and falls under the topic of immunity. Under our gracious new laws, I would not be able to win $500,
000 today were a nurse again caught committing libel." Verner S. Waite M.D., FACS, Downey, California

"Physicians who are entrusted with the care of their patients
can see their professional careers destroyed if they dare to challenge a hospital's practices. When a 'whistleblowing'
physician is retaliated against, it threatens not only the physician's livelihood, but the care of all patients.
This...affects every patient and potential patient in America." Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School
