Doctors are held fiscally responsible for malpractice. Why isn’t the same true for police? If it was, they would need insurance which would mean the market would sniff out the bad apples. Taxpayers wouldn’t pay settlements for bad cops. Cops would be more respected. Everyone wins.

Many doctors are asking their patients to sign a waiver before they will administer certain procedures removing them from liability . But I get your overall point

Waivers don’t protect doctors against malpractice (as long as you can prove malpractice, of course) — which is what the parent is referring to

Ok brother. My friend couldn't walk for 3 months because the doctor administered a shot in his hip. He struck to close to a nerve and that rendered him almost immobile. He lost his job because it required him to be able to walk which he couldn't do. He couldn't sue the due because of the waiver he signed.

I’m truly sorry for your brother and not trying to be argumentative here. But it’s a common misconception that waivers are a magic legal shield for medical professionals. They aren’t. It’s just that proving malpractice or negligence is often difficult

Thanks, I wasn't either. His experience was the first time I had heard of the waiver stuff. He had a lawyer look into on his behalf and didn't have any luck. I don't know the language in the waiver so they could be the thing
