Existence of Malpractice cases does not mean that doctors are not smart.
By itself thats very true. But when you consider that a portion of those have the same doc sued multiple times successfully It’s either a really unfortunate run of really bad luck or someone got their degree from Affirmative Action State or H1B University.
Or they are simply not smart enough to do their job.
Docs arent any different than any other profession. Some are great, some are idiots. Some brilliant, some not much. There is nothing really today in a society that dumbs down entry requirements from everything from Navy Seal to Astronaut, that prevents idiots from anything.
