Paradoxically, the very best surgeons have the worst outcomes and are sued continually.
The truly great surgeons take cases that most others find "inoperable". I know a heart surgeon who is truly a magician. He gets referrals from all over the state, really sick people whose local surgeon won't touch them. His mortality rates are nearly double the national average and that fact gets him barbequed in court regularly. Yet, he's the guy the doctors send their families to.
It's a crazy system. I guess my only point is that some of these legal "fishing expeditions" can be ruinous for the accused. The the plaintiff should automatically pay financial restitution when you are accused unjustly.
