3. According to one of the recent study published in an International report, the cost of medical
malpractice in the United States is USD 55.6 billion a year, which is approximately 2.4
percent of US annual health-care spending. An earlier research report published in 2011, in
the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that, during the period 1991 to 2005, 7.4
percent of all physicians licensed in the US had a malpractice claim. These staggering
numbers not only contribute to the high cost of health care, but the size of successful
malpractice claims also contributes to high premiums for medical malpractice insurance.

papers. Their manager Mr. Shah was worried when he heard the news. He first contacted Sarika
as they were best friends and batchmates. Sarika didn’t even know what drove Sheetal to such
harsh steps. Mr. Shah took the matter in his hands and confronted Sheetal in an informal talk in
the canteen. Sheetal opened up and discussed how she felt left out and humiliated as Sarika was
the popular one even though they both had equal qualification, experience and also had pursued
course from the same institute. Even the canteen waiters acknowledged Sarika’s presence
offering a quick service when she was with Sheetal. But when Sheetal came alone to canteen no
one paid attention to her nor was she given any respect or importance. This hurt Sheetal and led
her to resign.

3. According to one of the recent study published in an International report, the cost of medical
malpractice in the United States is USD 55.6 billion a year, which is approximately 2.4
percent of US annual health-care spending. An earlier research report published in 2011, in
the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that, during the period 1991 to 2005, 7.4
percent of all physicians licensed in the US had a malpractice claim. These staggering
numbers not only contribute to the high cost of health care, but the size of successful
malpractice claims also contributes to high premiums for medical malpractice insurance.

can be so famous and well known and loved by all whereas not many knew Sheetal apart from
the people from her own department. Sheetal now took an extreme step of putting down her
papers. Their manager Mr. Shah was worried when he heard the news. He first contacted Sarika
as they were best friends and batchmates. Sarika didn’t even know what drove Sheetal to such
harsh steps. Mr. Shah took the matter in his hands and confronted Sheetal in an informal talk in
the canteen. Sheetal opened up and discussed how she felt left out and humiliated as Sarika was
the popular one even though they both had equal qualification, experience and also had pursued
course from the same institute. Even the canteen waiters acknowledged Sarika’s presence
offering a quick service when she was with Sheetal. But when Sheetal came alone to canteen no
one paid attention to her nor was she given any respect or importance. This hurt Sheetal and led
her to resign.
