> 11 women say plastic surgeon botched jobs
If I told you that the 3M Company had 2192 lawsuits[1] of all types filed against them in the the last 4 years, what does that tell you? Are they a terrible company getting sued at lot or a incredibly nice company that barely ever gets sued for a company that large?
Plastic surgeons are among the most sued professions. To know whether 11 lawsuits are significant, you'd have to know the rate at which plastic surgeons are sued, how many surgeries this guy did, what period those 11 surgeries represent, and possibly even weight it with the difficulty of the surgeries (because if he's taking on high risk surgeries that other doctors decline, he'll have more failures). Maybe 11 lawsuits in a 4-year period is an excellent track record for someone doing thousands of high-risk surgeries in an ultra-litigious medical specialty.
[1] Completely made up that number.

And a "nationally recognized and board certified plastic surgeon" said the doctor had no training to perform plastic surgery (only general surgery as all doctors receive). So I'm not sure why you're trying to make some artificial point in isolation about lawsuits being meaningless, other doctors clearly think badly of his practice of medicine, to the point that they've stopped him doing so.
