| | Which Medical Conditions Account For The Rise In Health Care Spending? -- Thorpe et al., 10.1377/hlthaff.w4.437 -- ... |
 | | Although the medical conditions were self-reported, previous research has found a high level of agreement between descriptions of conditions (at the CCS level) reported by patients and those provided by physicians. | | | A small number of medical conditions were associated with much of the increase in health care spending between 1987 and 2000. | | | Since we are primarily interested in explaining the factors associated with increased spending within each medical condition, we are not concerned with double-counting across conditions. |

| | Medical Malpractice Condition Standard Healthcare Doctor Medication Treatment |
| | It is important that you record and document your medical condition before, during, and after the medical treatment, so you can more effectively demonstrate that any serious injuries must have resulted from the malpractice of the medical practitioner. | | | You may also be able to sue the hospital or healthcare organization that is responsible for supervising the conduct of the staff if you encounter problems with the medication, the sanitary conditions, or other aspects of the facility. | | | In a perfect world, if you had a medical condition, you would go to a professional healthcare provider to receive medical care and attention that would make you feel better, not worse. |
