Those who have time and the stomach for it should read this depressing story about a surgeon in Texas who murdered and maimed patients because he was upset a woman rejected him.
The surviving, now disabled of course, plaintiffs sued and won, but thanks to tort reforms Texas passed in the early aughts, their remedies were minimal.
Republicans are harsher on rape victims seeking abortions than doctors who kill and maim their patients. Deeply disturbing.
Yeah, basically has to be gross negligence which is almost impossible to achieve, then it's capped and your lawyer gets a cut. So most lawyers don't want to do medical malpractice in Texas because they don't like winning and still having people absolutly furious as them.
