Your statement implies that malpractice is common with most physicians and hospitals. Defensive medicine merely protects doctors from suits that claim he/she should have known or tested for every unknown. Defensive medicine isn't designed to protect a patient from illness, it is designed to protect the doctor from unscrupulous attorneys. Medicine in most cases is not an exact science, however many malpractice attorneys enjoy making money on the Monday morning quarterbacking.

Certainly there is more malpractice than is discovered and certainly more malpractice is accused where none exists.

I do not buy the defensive medicine argument. If doctors were truly practicing defensive medicine, there would not be so much malpractice.
