Do you think the insurance company would blame the lawyer or the doctor in that case? I may not think straight but I'm willing to bet they would blame the doctor and increase the premiums. If a doctor's premiums become large enough then he is in effect uninsurable. If that doctor still has educational debt to pay? Ruined.
Except those costs that hospitals incur are often passed down to other people to pay. Hospitals are not always the money-printing machine you seem to think they are. Well, some are I suppose. Of course, those increased fees by the hospital is often covered by medical insurance, which now has to increase premiums across the board to cover the increases.

They don't just blindly accept whatever numbers a hospital gives them. Those settlements come straight from the bottom line and are not simple to recoup.
