This scenario happens all the time. Again, patients lose:
What would you do if you’re a neurosurgeon and you understand neurosurgery better than anybody sitting a jury or a trial lawyer and you know this patient desperately needs you? But you know that the outcome (from a particular procedure) is terrible. So are you going to put your practice, your livelihood, your family and everything at risk by accepting this patient? Of course not. You’re going to say, ‘we can’t do anything about this.’
