Synopsis
Doctors and Lawyers take Oaths for their professions. But what if there were a third Oath? One taken by physicians . . . as cold-blooded killers? Malcolm Deitz, medical malpractice plaintiff lawyer, is less than affectionately known as "Midas Man". Why? Because Malcolm Deitz turns tragedy into gold! Starting with the brutal death of young Kimberly Maniscotti, Deitz composes a Wagnerian symphony skillfully played in a courtroom rather than a concert hall.
Initially considered by the defendants, Dr. Randall Frye and his medical malpractice insurance carrier, to be a nuisance suit - meaning one with little or no merit-Deitz skillfully contorts facts, twists testimony, and bends the emotions of twelve lay jurors who were expected at trial to understand the intricacies and inherent risks of medical treatment. The trial becomes a charade: Deitz's specialty. The result is Frye's financial and psychological ruin; the doctor who had thought he was above such matters. The case of Maniscotti versus Frye is the proverbial stone cast into a pond that appears relatively calm at the surface, but whose waters run deep and frantic. What happens to Frye, and in turn to Deitz, begins a ripple effect that spreads across the entire nation, as a core of enraged doctors seek permanent solution to the scourge of being sued by "fellow professionals" they consider conniving, larcenous, unscrupulous, and, moreover, their inferiors.
Thus is spawned the almost Hitlerian idea of The Third Oath, a final "solution" of what to do about lawyers. It is not an original concept, after all, Shakespeare wrote centuries ago: First, we must kill all the lawyers.
