That's why 2% of doctors are responsible for 39% of malpractice lawsuits. If your doctor cut off the wrong leg and you sued (and won) $2 million, would go back to the same doctor and just chalk it up as "well, now he's got $2 million of training"?
- hatware 4y ago> This quip never made much sense. I see it as: Your employee just learned a valuable lesson, and you definitely don't want to hire another new employee to make that same mistake again. Ultimately, it's the owner taking responsibility for the fuck up because they hired the employee, but still standing behind their decision to hire the employee. If your employee is an idiot and makes up 39% of mistakes, of course you won't keep them around when they make a big one. But most employees are not fuck-ups, as you alluded to with 2% of doctors making a majority of malpractice suits.
