Here we are back in the saddle on a Saturday afternoon / evening. Nothing much new on the home front except that I started going to the doctor last week for some physical therapy on my left knee. It's just a "bulge" if you will on my knee. Doctor said its fluid buildup and he could probably just drain it, but most likely it would return. So he said physical therapy is the way to go.
Anyways, reading the contract you have to sign before they will treat you has this interesting statement that revolves around the indication that some of the Physicians, Residents, Medical Students, and Nurses may be that of independent contractors:
(1) I have received adequate notification of this relationship and that the hospital is released from liability and is not legally responsible for the acts or omissions of such individuals.
(2) The hospital has not represented or taken any other action to induce me to believe that the physicians, residents, medical students and nurses are employees or agents of the hospital.
Hmmm. Talk about wiping your hands clean.
