Sorry for the rant.

Unfortunately these doctors are protected by other doctors and continue to mispractice for many decades. If it were any other profession besides politicians, they would have been drummed out forthwith. Until this changes, doctors have no right to complain if they are lumped in with the bad apples as a result. We hear about the push for tort reform to limit damages in medical malpractice suits but nothing about getting rid of the doctors who kill, maim, or overdose their patients. Not to mention the obnoxious, rude doctors, again who wouldnt be tolerated in other professions.
