If you honestly believe that I am the only person that makes mistakes, i
advise you to do a google search on these terms:
malpractice
medical malpractice
Over the years, I have read newspaper stories related to doctors that have
done some really terrible things such as cutting off the wrong limbs and
prescribing the wrong sorts of medications that had a similar name. One of
my co-workers developed minor chest pains and the boss had his wife pick
him up and take him directly to see his doctor. The doctor did a quick
check (about 10 minutes or less as per his wife) and told him that it was
heartburn. About one week later, my friend had a massive heart attack and
died before the ambulance arrived.
His wife filed a malpractice lawsuit but is not allowed to tell us how
much money that she received from the doctor's malpractice insurance
company. Doctors make serious mistakes that cause people to die or to be
disabled on a regular basis--that's why the malpractice insurance rates
keep going higher and higher and higher. In every large city, there are
lawyers that specialize in filing malpractice lawsuits against doctors
that cause their patients to die or to become disabled. One of the local
surgeons had so many malpractice lawsuits that he now works in the local
prison since it means he no longer has to have malpractice insurance. If
you want to criticize people, criticize doctors that cause their patients
to die or to become disabled.


How does that fact that doctors make mistakes make it OK for you to post bad
information and advice here on this newsgroup?
