Doctor Accused of Medical Malpractice Disappears
While not common, some of the often-sued doctors in this country have decided to quit practicing and retire with their money. In Dr. Normann's case, it appears he has decided to fall off the face of the planet - or practice medicine in Texas. In the wake of 2003 "tort reform" in Texas, it is likely doctors who are unable to maintain licenses/hospital privileges in other states will come to Texas to practice. Only time will tell if Texas has fallen victim to its own laws.
