But a doctor who works in clean well lit conditions with a staff supporting him should just be let off the hook when he amputates the wrong leg, or prescribes a dose of meds so incorrectly that they become lethal, or takes such a shoddy look at your charts [he needs to get to a golf game] that he misses a detail that costs you your life?
No reason a doc needs any more protection than the rest of us.
funny you should mention a golf game,my dad told me that he talked too the doctor who done the surgery,he said he was pi$$ed he had too miss his golf game and come in on call and do brain surgery,he did do a rather good job,i'm still here to talk to you guys,it wasn't the surgery he messed up,it was the lack of my insurance paying for another MRI that would have caught the blood clot that would have prevented the surgery from having too take place,that's what ticks me off.and i didn't try and sue noone,figured i had it comin,it was my fault.
