A new idea is being proposed in the medical community...honesty. Sure, most still reject such a radical notion. However, a small but growing segment of the medical community is advocating that patients ought to be told the truth when they're injured by a medical mistake.

Why do we respond with little more than a collective shrug to the admission that doctors and hospitals have dishonestly denied fault for decades?
