    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Ken MOFO

    Here's one I've never heard before. Of course, nearly all doctors are required to have malpractice and liability insurance in order to obtain clinical privileges at hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Some states require it for licensure.https://twitter.com/manolitocono/status/1002160704575758337 …

    You couldn't be more wrong. Most doctors do not have malpractice insurance. Please stay focused on the issue. This is about the pharmaceutical companies

        I was a clinical counselor (Masters Level) and had to have malpractice insurance. We even spoke about it during college. I have never heard of a practitioner not holding liability insurance.

        Understood Doctor. With all respect, practitioners here in Florida place a sign in the waiting area that cites the Florida statute and informs the patients that they have elected not to carry medical malpractice insurance

        Seven states, as per http://Chron.com  article. Their workplace may have additional requirements, of course. http://smallbusiness.chron.com/doctors-required-malpractice-insurance-60552.html …

        It’s unheard of to not have malpractice insurance.

        Indemnity insurance is mandatory in the UK. It is illegal to work as a physician, surgeon or dentist without it. If you are found to be without it you are struck off.

        But not if you are a medically unqualified quack.

        It's a requirement of doctor registration here, same for Nurse Practitioners and midwives who wish to practice privately. What planet do some of these people live on? It's not as if it's hard to find out 🤨
