I had faith in the legal system to a degree as well before my experiences started. The doctors have more expensive lawyers and theirs and the hospital's insurance and business lobbies have succeeded in getting legal conditions set in their favor. Low award caps making contingency unavailable to clients, short statutes of limitations etc. It's why surgery centers often cluster in certain counties etc. Those places have more amenable courts and juries. It's a LOT harder than people think from TV etc to win at a malpractice case. There are doctors who have negligently killed people still doing surgeries etc and in one case I read the hospital isn't legally allowed to inform patients of his censure and past.
