Then maybe mortality rate should be attributed to doctors not operating as well. Low mortality is a good metric on patients, not doctors. But on the other hand, I don't want to be treated by a doctor who cares more about his sellable stats than saving lives.

Maybe it's a good metric for hospitals. There are other pressures discouraging hospitals from rejecting patients altogether, or such is my impression, anyway.
