i've been sitting back and watching this arguement because it was about doctors getting paid now were into doctors being idiots! "doctors are just guess work in a white coat"! my grandmother just recently died because of malpractice. when she was 69 she was diagnosed with having a very large brain tumor, they went in and removed most of it. (btw saw that bill $500,000, doctors do get PAID) where they messed up was there was no radiation treatment afterwards, when there should have been! 5 years later the tumor was back but the doctors wouldn't operate because she was to old. then they sent here home and had a nurse come in everyday to take care of her. well, the doctors perscibed her 2 different kinds of medicine and caused her to contract thrombocyclopinia(sp) it's lethal to the elderly. so into the hospital she went where 5 days later she passed away. so far there are 2 malpractice lawsuits in this whole situation but because all doctors are good friends they have both been covered up. when doctors screw up this bad they should be held responsible. if they would have done radiation treatment after the brain surgery they would have gotten rid of the rest of the tumor and my grandmother would still be alive today! i hate the medical profesion.

sorry for the story had to rant a little.
