I believe that a doctors personal wealth should also be at risk in a situation like yours. Perhaps then, fewer mistakes would be made....I would love to hear a judge say ok the doctor's house, cars and beach house is all yours...bet my mother makes some tooth picks if that was to happen.

>gross negligence like that will result in dismissal, loss of license or jail<

Dismissal maybe, loss of license almost never...they just move to small towns like mine where the local surgeon has a horrible record of complications with his patients.
as a former volunteer emt i was required to have more continuing education than doctors...how f*cked up is that?
i once witnessed an er doc cut off mast trousers on a patient with massive internal bleeding and watched him code..lucky thing the paramedic pushed the dr. out of the way and the hospital had another pair of mt's.

like i said the other day the fix is for the ama to police its self...NOT limit caps...everyone loves limit caps until it happens to THEM.
but sadly limit caps get pushed through due to the fact the insurance lobby groups can buy politicians
