Noland Briggs F. Cheney William D. Slease, Chair Joseph R. Conte Richard B. Spinello Sandra Morgan Little Jill Anne Yeagley Gaelle D.

L. Rev. 311 (1973). Available at: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/nmlr/vol3/iss2/5 This Notes and Comments is brought to you for free and open access by The University of New Mexico School of Law. For more information, please visit the New Mexico Law Review website: www.lawschool.unm.edu/nmlr NOTES THE NEW MEXICO MEDICO-LEGAL MALPRACTICE PANEL-AN ANALYSIS This paper is a study and evaluation of the New Mexico Medi- co-Legal Malpractice Panel. A number of such instrumentalities are described in medical and legal literature. Despite the volume of writing on the subject, however, the literature is confined to operational descriptions. This paper attempts to do more. It first generally describes the key problem in litigation under the law of medical malpractice-the conspiracy of silence. It goes on to deal with some of the societal factors that seem to bear on malpractice controversies. It then describes a number of attempts to overcome the problems of malpractice and the conspiracy of silence. Some of these are legal developments. Others are extra-judicial. In dealing with the problems and with attempts to meet them, we identify some characteristics of desirable solutions to the malpractice problem. The New Mexico panel is discussed from an operational standpoint. In a series of interviews, we attempted to discover personal and professional reactions to the panel, its method of operations, and its effect on those who utilize it.
