...Frank Trippett's Essay "Of Risks, Hazards and Culprits" [Aug. 28] decrying what you call "the increased tendency of injured parties to sue somebody," you attempt to equate American law holding negligent and careless individuals liable for their conduct with "the modern welfare state." That is unforgivable. In fact, the tort system allocates losses to those who actually cause them, rather than asking society in general...

Participating physicians conduct coordinated screening programs, looking especially for women with histories of problem pregnancies, hyper tension, diabetes, kidney disease and alcohol or drug abuse, all of whom are likely to be high-risk patients. Common communications and transportation facilities help ensure quick response in crises...
