Malpractice bill gets surgery
United Press International
AUSTIN — The state malpractice
bill was so amended after Congres
sional debate that doctors won most
of what they wanted, a supporter
called it ‘salvaged’ and the bill’s
sponsor refused to vote for it.
The bill was tentatively approved
yesterday and is up for final Senate
consideration today.
Amendments limit pain and suf
fering awards to $100,000, give
judges the right to reduce awards in
proportion to the amount of insur-

ance payments a patient had re
ceived, and allow doctors to pay
damage settlements in installments
instead of lump sums.
“We’re going to create a new
deity called ^doctors, ”’ said Sen.
A. R. Schwartz, D-Galveston, who
sponsored the measure but dis
owned it after the amendments.
“The Lord’s going to start wearing a
stethescope.
“The medical association — and I
don’t blame them for trying to
pump up their problem — would
have the public believe that every
doctor in Texas is paying $15,000 or
more for his medical malpractice in
surance.
“The vast majority of doctors are
being insured at not only reasonable
rates in relation to their income but
at a rate they can afford.”
Sen. John Traeger, D-Seguin, ar
gued for the doctor-favored
amendments to the House bill, say
ing the House plan was not good
enough.
“The H ouse has defaulted on
malpractice,” Traeger said. “The
Senate has got the only chance to
save it.”
Sen. Ray Farabee, D-Wichita
Falls, said the doctor-favored
amendments would result in reduc
tions in malpractice insurance pre
miums that physicians pay.
Farabee won a 20-10 vote to limit
pain and suffering awards to
$100,000. The bill would allow a
jury to award an injured patient up
to $400,000 for economic loss.
A doctor-favored amendment to
reduce awards when patients re
ceive social security or other bene
fits was also watered down. The
amendment now allows damages to
be lowered by a judge only by the
amount of insurance the person re
ceived.
Another proposal stipulated that
doctors could pay malpractice
awards of more than $100,000 in in
stallments, with the trial judge mak
ing the decision.
Amendments that would have
shortened the time span when 6- to
12-year-old children could file mal
practice claims were tabled on close
votes.

University seeks volunteers
for orientation counselors
for eldei
ech’i
More than 100 student volunteers
are being sought by Texas A&M
University officials to participate as
peer counselors in summer orienta
tion sessions for new students at
Texas A&M University.
America in midst
of bicycle boom
m
SKOKIE, Ill. (UPI) — America is
having a bicycle explosion, accord
ing to Rand McNally’s new
“Backpacking and Outdoor Guide.”
The recent bicycle boom has re
sulted in nearly 100 million bikes
taking to the roads.
According to the book, the Wis
consin bikeway was first in the
United States to cross an entire
state, but there are now thousands of
miles of bicycle paths in every state
on which riders can tour the open
country.
Students wishing to help should
apply by Wednesday (April 20) in
room 108, YMCA Building.
Karen Dawn Switzer, student
development coordinator, noted
that the volunteers will have to at
tend one of two programs, either
April 26 or May 2, in which peer
counselors will be trained in ways to
serve the new students.
Summer orientation sessions this
year will be held May 26; June 2, 6,
9, 13, 16, 23, 27, 30; July 14, 18, 21;
and Aug. 8 and 24.
At each of the summer sessions,
volunteers will spend three hours
telling new students how to adapt to
university life. Switzer said they
will also conduct campus tours and
explain social and educational op
portunities at Texas A&M.
Volunteers should have at least a
2.6 grade point ratio and be in
volved in at least one extra
curricular activity.
