When I was half way through my pregnancy my doctor presented me with a legal document and the request that I sign. It was a paper stating that in the event my child developed cerebral palsy, I would accept a one time payment of 200,000.00 dollars. I refused to sign, of course. Thank God I did, because as soon as my baby started getting too big in the womb they induced me, and as soon as he started having trouble getting oxygen, they performed an emergency cesarean.
Don't trust doctors. The HMO's control them. Interestingly, I was the only mom I know asked to sign. I was also the only mom with private insurance. Coincidence? I think not.
My son lived because I didn't sign
