Who wants to practice in a target enriched mine field for hungry lawyers ? Ambulance chasers are a real and valid issue.

Hit the brakes on the ambulance and watch them bounce of the pavement, then have the coroner scrape them up.

But seriously, tort reform is needed for malpractice. Or, just make it illegal to sue health care providers, except under rigid circumstances.
