Exposure to litigation is part of the practice of medicine. You wouldn't get in a taxi if the cab driver made you sign away your right to sue if he ran a stop sign. You wouldn't go in a store if at the door you were forced to sign away your right to sue if the floor had not been mopped and you fell due to their negligence.
I wouldn't sign, and I say that as a retired MD. Also, please tell us what doctor or group has this policy so I and others can avoid it when it is time for our turn for cataract removal.
