Charles Dubin's massive review of the Canadian Medical Protective Association supports the CMPA's policy of maintaining a large reserve for malpractice coverage, but calls for a major overhaul of the association's fee structure. Regardless of the risks their practices pose, says Dubin, all doctors should pay the same fee in order to keep physicians practising in high-risk specialties such as obstetrics and orthopedic surgery. The alternative, said CMPA president Dr. Bill Thomas, is an exodus from certain specialties because of massive bills for malpractice insurance.
查尔斯·杜宾对加拿大医学保护协会的大量审查支持了该协会为医疗事故保险维持大量储备金的政策,但呼吁对该协会的收费结构进行重大改革。杜宾表示,无论医生的执业风险如何,所有医生都应支付相同的费用,以使从事产科和骨科手术等高风险专科的医生能够继续执业。加拿大医学保护协会主席比尔·托马斯博士称,否则,由于医疗事故保险费用高昂,某些专科的医生将会大批流失。
