Hi Kajtek1,
I won't argue the % with you, you might be correct. As to the doctors, sometimes people die due to a mis-diagnosis. To me, this is a different scenario than spending too much to have our cars repaired.
This could become a long debate between you and me. But let me say that my father was an MD, I spent 1 year in medical school, and my sister and her husband also have MD degrees. Therefore, I have an obvious built-in bias on this issue.
Be that as it may, everyone is capable of making a mistake. It is sometimes catastrophic when medical doctors make them. Unfortunatly, these are more often than not, covered up by other doctors reviewing the cases. I think the same might be true when lawyers are accused of malpractice.
