She must have liked it), and our general (though surely not specific to me) perception that doctors are infalliable makes prosecuting and "winning" these cases very, very difficult.

Throw in the insurance companies sole plight in life- to "win" without any regard to fairness or what is right- and many, many people simply do not have the resources or stamina to fight these guys (and I suppose, gals).

Medical malpractice in general can be summed up in this snippet: hardest cases to try and most expensive cases to win.
