WESTERN ORTHOPEDIC ASSOCIATION

THE EDITORIAL COMMITTEE and R. G. LAMBERT M.D.

In summary, it should be stressed that all of us must: be constantly alert to potential malpractice action; keep adequate records; be aware of the statute of limitations; protect ourselves by adequate insurance coverage; be fair and honest in our appraisals and opinions of the injured patient; and be prepared, honest, alert, natural, and forthright when appearing as an expert witness.

In conclusion, I would like to quote with one change from The Readers Digest for May 1964, the thought ". . . no matter how complex medicine becomes, the timeless human heart and the capacity to care will always remain a doctor's greatest asset."
