There is a controversy in Oregon over a proposed change in the ethics rule from the Oregon Medical Board. At issue is the use of “microaggressions” to discipline doctors and to make reporting such transgressions mandatory for all doctors. It seems before you can give stitches, you have to join snitches under one of the most ambiguous categories of prescribed speech.
Has anyone ever given a concrete definition for microaggression?
From what I gather, it means: "I am a highly neurotic and paranoid individual, who will interpret even the smallest of non-threatening physical gestures and verbal phrases as harassment."
So in other words, anything that isn't open praise.
Texas juries used to hand out huge settlements in miscarriage suits.
Then one day somebody noticed that pregnant women were having a hard time getting appts and care because there were only 2 licensed obstetricians left practicing in the whole of south Texas.
My friend's wife was an MD and she couldn't afford the malpractice insurance, so she just didn't practice.

Oregonians obviously don't care about this very much.
