Doctors get sued for so much bull shit already. There definitely are times when they should be sued but in most cases, it's just sickening. For example, my grandmother's kidney was actually cut in a normally routine operation. She never had problems with her kidneys before. Since, she has suffered greatly and will die from it inevidibly. In events such as this, yes, sue and sue big. However, even in my personal experiences, I've seen patients sue for negligence even when they failed to follow doctor's orders. Patients have won in these situations.
Unfortunately, morals really get in the way when talking about these issues. In my opinion, it's just like people suing merck for their probs associated with vioxx(which they SHOULD NOT HAVE recalled) in that many lawyers and politicians exploit the system. You can't fault them for it, but you don't have to admire their shitty ethics.
My best advice, never be too trusting of anyone and always consider a second opinion.
