The McAllen physician denied that malpractice claims are growing because there are so many incompe tent physicians that the board isn’t weeding out of the industry. “I take issue with that,” he said. That’s not true. The trial lawyers think they’ve found a whipping boy with the medical board. I’m not going to let them play politics with me.” After the state budget, the issue of professional liability insurance costs will be the hottest issue confronting the Legislature this session, Godinez told members of a McAllen civic group. Limiting awards or other changes in the civil justice system for per sonal injury cases are measures un der consideration, but trial attorneys strongly oppose them. The 15-member board has been criticized by some legislators, who say it has not been vigorous enough in pursuing claims against doctors who patients said were unethical or incompetent. Godinez said when he took office in 1973, the board conducted nine disciplinary hearings against Texas doctors, hut that last year it had 271 such hearings. “There are a few incompetent physicians and we have done our very best to get. them out of practi ce,” he said. “But everyone is enti tled to due process. . . . It’s not easy to take a professional’s license away.” He said the board’s critics are try ing to divert attention from the ac tual cause of the crisis in profes sional liability insurance rates — unrealistic judgments, frivolous law suits, contingency attorney’s fees and poor business decisions by in surance companies in the past. Godinez said he supports elimi nating the doctrine of joint and seve rable liability — a practice in which the defendant with the most money may have to pay the claim although he may be the least responsible. He also feels there should be sanc tions against frivolous lawsuits, peri odic payments when awards exceed $100,000 rather than lump sum judgments and reducing judgments by the amount a plaintiff is receiving from another source such as insur- Godinez served on the Board of Medical Examiners for 14 years be fore resigning Jan. 10.

Two Albanian nationals allegedly part of the ring were indicted on ar son charges Wednesday. Garland Fire Department, spokes man Ron Smith said the crime ring consisted of at least six Albanians re sponsible for crimes in Dallas, Hous ton, Chicago, New York and Florida. He said the ring — under investi gation by at least five local, state and federal agencies — is believed to have smuggled from three to six Al banians into the United States and forced them to work without pay at restaurants owned by ring members. Smith said the suspects are be lieved to be brothers and cousins who operated at least four pizza res- taux ants in the Dallas area. Sali Kaba, 36, owner of Ristorante* Illyria in Garland, and Abaz Mad, 31, were indicted Wednesday on ar son charges in connection with an April 18 fire that severely damaged the pizzeria. Fire investigators said there was no forced entry into the building and no vandalism or theft. Investigators said their probe in dicates the business made only mar ginal profits and that Kaba was be hind on utility, rent and equipment leasing payments. The business also was up for sale at $ 15,000. Shortly after the fire, Kaba moved to Florida and did not file a claim with his insurance company, the re ports said. Fire officials also learned that Kaba owned a pizzeria that was de stroyed by fire two weeks after it opened in Hornell, N.Y., about 60 miles south of Rochester. Mati was indicted on another ar son charge last November for an Aug. 20 fire at his Garland home, Smith said. * * * * * X- ■X- X- ■* * * * *• *• * *- X- X- * * -X- * * ■* ■* •X- ■X- * * * * * * * * * r* * •* ■* * ■* *■ * *• * -x* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ¥r inema/ Fri./Sat., Jan. 23/24 ★ 7:30/9:45 it Soundtrack to be given away at 7:30 feature “A dazzling film, tender and true to its roots, given both brilliance and grit by Paul Newman, Tom Cruise and Martin Scorsese’s direction.” — Judith Crist, WOR-TV $2 Rudder Theatre -x * •k * * * •x * •x * •X •X •X •X •X -X •X •X ■X -X •X •X •X •X •X -X- •X ■X -X •X -X •X •X •X •X •X •X * * vL** vL* ^f/* nL- «JL* <*jl# •A* -sL- ^ *T* *7* -T* -'i* 1 **T % *7^ -t*» •X •X •X •X •X ■X •X •X •X •X •X
