Unfortunately, this has attracted the most incompetent doctors to Texas. The cap on damages is for patients who die from malpractice and there is no economic damage. So the very young and very old are not considered valuable enought to their families to warrant a financial settlement. My elderly father who died in the ICU had very little done by the hospital and doctors to keep him alive. Too much to be gained if he died and too much to lose if he lived! What a position for the medical community to be in.

I challenge you to provide any proof for your assertion about “incompetent” doctors. Anecdotes are not the same as scientific data.
