If you think being sued for malpractice is a negative stop going to any doctor because they all have been. You can’t have practice medicine for any length of time and not screwed up...
Not having practiced for a decade feel free to criticize but being sued for malpractice is a given.
Did she stop practicing because she got tired of medicine? Or because the malpractice incident was so bad that no malpractice insurance company wanted to insure her any more?
Here in the People's Republic, the modal number of malpractice suits per physician is 0 but the average is more than 1.
Physicians in some specialties, like obstetrics, orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery get sued a lot. It doesn't mean that there are too many bad doctors in those specialties, just that the specialty takes on risks and when outcomes are bad, they can be very bad.
So I wouldn't fault her for involvement in a single malpractice suit. But dressing up in scrubs for a political ad if she's been wearing a suit to go to work as an executive for the past 10 years -- yes, I think that's deceptive!
