Number 1 reason for such high rates of medical malpractice is the fear of being wrong directly related to the fear of the consequences. Lawyers LOVE a lawsuit. US lawyers are paid regardless of outcome. US Doctors must pay for extortion-rate levels of malpractice insurance just to open their doors.

Patients leaving out key information and/or out-right lying due to fear of embarrassment or ridicule . . .

Doctors infected with pride to such a degree they're never-ever wrong . . .

The perfect mix for an early death.
