Anyone know a Doctor that ever got fired? If they didn't mess up so much they would not get sued so much. Like a bad driver some should pay big insurance. Alot of Doctors are hazzards. They Kill. with a license...

Nonsense! The majority of lawsuits are frivolous - not based on negligence on doctors' parts but rather on poor outcomes of risky procedures. Let's see some stats regarding the way they "mess us so much" and see just how many "alot" is.

"The majority of lawsuits are frivlous."

Do you have any - ANY - data to support that assertion?

In most states, you can't even file a lawsuit against a doctor without getting an affidavit from another doctor stating that the defendant doctor was negligent. While certainly some of those doctors providing the affidavits are "hired guns," there is no way you can show that the "majority" of them are.
