On a related topic, Florida law says that, if you sue a physician for malpractice, you must go through arbitration, which is "non-binding" on the patient. But, some opthalmologists are requiring patients to sign an agreement before cataract surgery to make the arbitration decision "binding" on the patient. These agreements have been thrown out by several courts because they attempt to negate Florida law.
