Just a heads up. Several local eye doctors are demanding that you sign away your right to a jury trial in any alleged malpractice event and instead settle for binding arbitration. As you will not win a malpractice case unless there is a deviation from the standard of care and the cost of malpractice insurance is a tiny fraction of the expenses of an ophthalmologic practice I urge caution.
You wouldn't get in a taxi cab if the driver said, before I drive you I demand you sign a paper that you won't be able to sue me if I run a stop sign, crash, and you are injured and instead will just settle for arbitration. I'll take the next cab instead.
I don't want a doctor who is viewing me as a potential lawsuit even before the operation. Don't make a mistake and you won't have to worry about our tort system.
