Oh, unfortunately I do believe. Georgia is one of those places that have "capped" malpractice judgements, which makes it virtually impossible for the attorney to recover their expenses in proving the case if they do win.

a friend's 24-year-old niece, who was herself a nursing student at Stony Brook, was experiencing serious abdominal pain for quite a while and finally went to some doctors (her mother had recovered from esophageal cancer, which has a strong genetic component) to find out what the deal was. she and her parents visited the head of Hematology at Stony Brook, and he told them they were crazy, etc. he finally said "OK...FIVE MINUTES," and gave the kid a clean bill of health (remember that hematologists are ALSO oncologists).
she was dead in six months.
it looked like the most obvious malpractice case I'd ever heard of. everyone begged them to sue, but they just didn't want to deal with the trauma involved. now they're both gone as well.
they should have sued. I mean, the motherfucker was an ONCOLOGIST who refused to test for CANCER. and he's the head of the fucking DEPARTMENT in a MEDICAL SCHOOL.
