days of "venue shopping" will bring those days back. The change
in ruling is being made under the pretense that ACT 127 is
unconstitutional.
This committee is comprised of twenty lawyers who will make
recommendations to the Supreme Court. The court can then
choose to enact or ignore said recommendations. Karla M. Shultz
is the counsel for the civil Procedural Rules Committee of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. She is an honorable person, but
needs physicians' input to understand the disaster this reversion
to the previous status will result in. All the correspondence sent
will also reviewed by the honorable judges of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court.
Our hope is after a deep assessment of the rule the committee
will be convinced that a return to those dark days in which a
patient could not find a doctor because of the malpractice crisis
would be against the wishes of the citizens of Pennsylvania. In
the case that a change is made, the hope is that the honorable

members of the Supreme Court will reject that change. We
as physicians must be engaged in this process and convey our
concerns, not only to the committee members, but also to the
Honorable counsel woman Schultz and the members of the
Supreme Court.

Pennsylvania physicians are strongly encouraged to take immediate
action! The PAMED has developed an on-line method for you
