Imagine jailing doctors for every patient that died you would be out of doctors quite soon.
Imagine jailing doctors for every patient that died you would be out of doctors quite soon.
Eg. doctors do get sued and fired for malpractice, if they did something no other skilled doctor would reasonably do ("let's just use the instruments from the previous surgery").
- Oops! mistakenly left some instrument inside and sewed up the patient - Junior begging to do certain step of the surgery while the anesthesiologist asking them to just get a move on. - Administered a drug to a newborn baby which was supposed to be given to the mother. (My sister's colleague did this with no consequences)
There is a world of difference between "nothing happened" and being fired. Just like in the NBA, a fine (monetary penalty) of a sufficient size will get someone's attention without losing their skills forever.
