I am confused. The "plaintiffs" are medical doctors and clinics who bought NECC's tainted anti-inflammatory steroids, injected them into patients, and those patients got sick with fungal infections (meningitis, others), with many of the patients dying and definitely incurring significant $$$ costs for further medical care (not just pain and suffering; loss of companionship; etc) so lawsuits against medical doctors would NOT BE CAPPED by various medical malpractice reform laws. It appears that these doctors are appealing NECC's bankruptcy, so they don't wind up holding the bag, being the "deep pocket" in lawsuits regarding these compounded drugs. Am I correct in this assessment?

Yes you are right. The "Dr's" and clinic's/facilities, according to their own words have not even lost patients over this. So it can only be a "cover thine a$$ type of lawsuit. Here is a lin for you to read and then you tell me, how "innocent" these clinic's and "Dr's" are.

Seems here in NH there is much that is secret surrounding all this. Think about this..these clinic's were purchasing these medications in bulk, which is not according to the letter of the law...so if they are willing to push the lines of the law like that, are they not also culpable? There is at least a decade of NECC violations, and many other compounding facilities have a decade or more of violations. It's not rocket science to look up these companies and find out if they have violations, which should make them suspect, at the very least.
