Fair enough...and after working in a variety of hospitals for many years...exactly the same can be said of physicians. Exactly the same thing. Sure, the bad ones eventually have things catch up to them. But I guarantee you, it doesn't happen overnight. No one will ever be able to give you a total number of fouled up patients by a given bad apple MD. But they are out there. Don't get me wrong, the vast majority of health care professionals including physicians do their jobs superlatively, and genuinely care about their patients, and it is a pleasure and privilege to work in the profession. But like everything, there are bad apples.
