2. And 2 again. A lot of the doctors and med students I know or knew seem to have a very cynical attitude towards patient care, liability and all that, most of which is based on their beliefs that they are infallible. If someone dies, that person would have died anyway, it's not their fault. If someone doesn't get the care that person should have received because of a mistake or understaffing or fatigue, it's a problem with the system, not the doctor. Etc., etc.
Doctors are some of the most arrogant SOBs I know. Even the ones I'm friends with. I'm not crying a river about this malpractice stuff, but that's a discussion for the politics board.
