FLORIDA DEPARTS FROM TRADITION: THE LEGISLATIVE RESPONSE TO THE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CRISIS JOHN H. FRENCH* I. INTRODUCTION The "medical malpractice crisis" emerged in early 1975 when insurance carriers writing professional liability insurance for physi- cians suddenly realized that what had traditionally been a profita- ble market was turning into a financial disaster. Carriers every- where responded by refusing to renew existing policies or by offering renewals at astronomically increased premiums. Insurance coverage for the new physician or for others insured for the first time was virtually unavailable at any price. The impact of all this on the medical community touched off shock waves that were soon felt by the public at large. The situation commanded and received immedi- ate attention from legislative bodies across the nation. The Florida experience is typical of that in most of the larger states, both in terms of the chronology of the crisis and the legisla- tive response. -

Would-be explorers, mining knowledge and experience, a gift rarely afforded to prior generations. A gift we are privileged to acknowledge, bequeathed by the wealth and technology of our day. Indeed, explorers from an earlier age did not have the advantages afforded by our cur- rent technology. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to keep one from getting lost, satel- lite phones to call for help, and airplanes to come to the rescue. Historically those who traveled to the Arctic were gone for years, and lost to communication until they returned. Many never re- turned. What drove people to explore the north: to risk their lives and expose themselves to profound privation? The exploration of the Arctic spans almost 450 years, and continues to this day. While early explor- ers were looking for spices from China, current ex- ploration is focused on precious resources like oil, diamonds and gold. Caught in the mix has been the Inuit people, and the welfare of those who call the Arctic home has often been overlooked in the drive to explore. GETTING THERE The principal means of travel for early explorers was by boat; sailing ships to cross the ocean and freigh- ter canoes to travel inland waterways. -
