Pilot failures are really visible, and kill hundreds atll at once. Bad medical decisions lead to more deaths overall, but it's far less likely the public will hear it, and even if they do, it's one person at a time. Far more people die from car crashes than airplane crashes too: It's not even close. And yet, people who have no business behind a wheel drive, and the penalties for being a poor driver are typically minimal. Same difference.
