Like I said, I'd be concerned about getting the individual doctor punished. - Dr.Vermin Dec 22, 10:38 5
- And how do you propose to get him fired? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 10:39 4
  - I don't know. I haven't imagined my daughter's death all that thoroughly. - Dr.Vermin Dec 22, 10:41 3
    - When the M&M board clears the doctor of wrongdoing, what recourse do you have? Litigation. It's a tool. Don't knock it. - Beryllium Dec 22, 10:42 2
      - Fine, but It's a vastly overused tool. Surely you can acknowledge that. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 22, 10:45
      - (And, at that point, you also want to punish the M&M board, of course - so you name the hospital as a defendant) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 10:43
