Most hospitals have to carry malpractice liability of a half-million
dollars for most of it's licensed staff (Nurses, techs, therapists and EMS
personnel) and sometimes as much as 20 times that for physicians.
Is that per staff member?
Yes.
I think it's implied in the way you phrase it but
it's not really clear.
Ask any licensed, currently practicing health care professional. Many carry
more, and some specialties (like obstetrics) carry a lot more. Such coverage
is
not inexpensive, and in some areas medical care providers are simply closing
down or moving because of the high cost of malpractice insurance. It is one
of
the reasons (not the only one) for the high cost of medical care in the USA.
Dr. Jimmy, did you learn that in the ARRL Study Guide?
Bash book?
What does MALPRACTICE really mean?
Does it have "Farnsworth spacing?"
My diagnosis is that this topic doesn't belong in this newsgroup.
Sue my insurance carrier if you don't like that opinion... :-)
My prognosis is a lot of Chat Room nattering by the regulars.
