I've got to agree with X Y here. Making trial lawyers rich doesn't increase your chance of surviving a heart attack. It just makes a lawyer rich. Considering some of the cases that have been brought and judgements that have been won by specious arguments and skill in misleading a jury and making it cry, we might be better off making trial lawyers extinct rather than doctors. Hitting a cardiologist and a hospital with a $100,000,000 judgement isn't likely to increase your chance of surviving a heart attack if you end up there; in fact, it would probably decrease it since all available funds would go to pay the judgement (and the defendant's lawyer's fees) rather than into new and better equipment. If you want better doctors, push for better and more independent medical oversight systems and better training, not larger court judgements. As X Y said, they spend at least 17 years in school and training and end up these days making $100,000 to $200,000 a year these days. And it's an area where you might want to attract the best you can get. Your life may depend on it.
