It?s Too Late To Apologize

By Steve Lombardi

WHY THEY ASK FOR THE RIGHT TO LIE WITH A FAKE APOLOGY

An interesting thing about those wanting the apology shield is the emotion that drove them to ask the Iowa legislature to enact the law. They were being greedy and in most situations where greed is the motivating force they will lose what they hoped to gain.

WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW WON'T KILL THEM

Before the apology shield law was enacted, the best thing the defense lawyers had going for them was they could control the doctors and what they said to the patients and those waiting for the patient. It was easy to just say, say nothing. Doctors are human, and as humans the words they speak are imprecise. Also like most people once they start talking they can't resist saying one more thing. And it's that one more thing that will cause all the problems.

And that's the interesting thing about the English language, it's very imprecise. And humans are very unpredictable.

So join me in listening to 'Apologize', by One Republic.
