Clark Newhall's commentary in The Salt Lake Tribune (Opinion, Nov. 28) about the IHC physician division's decision to require patients to sign arbitration agreements is too full of inaccuracies to let pass unanswered. Just ask anyone who has been through a medical liability dispute that ended up in court (on either side, win or lose) if they enjoyed the process. Ask if they were happy with the legal costs, the length of time it took to resolve the case, the draining, adversarial nature of the battle, the parading of patient medical records in public, etc.
