Maybe because the human body is a totally different and much more complex system than an airplane? And that’s why you can’t even compare the two?[/quote]

True, but only to a certain extent. Airplanes are extremely complex, and any number of issues — some easy and some difficult to diagnose — can cause a plane to crash or malfunction.

From the medical malpractice situations I’m familiar with, the biggest problems/complaints usually involved total negligence on the part of a doctor or hospital. There is NO excuse for some of the things I’ve seen WRT medical malpractice (personal stories…I am not an attorney).

I’d bet the majority of high-cost malpractice cases involve “accidents” that were entirely preventable.

Unfortunately CA the human body is much more different than an airplane. A model of a plane is built the same way. There are minute differences, but if there is a design flaw or some other issue, it is generally repeatable.

Not only are most human beings very different on an individual basis, but their behavior is very difficult to anticipate and to model in the first place. There are an infinite amount of variations that a doctor has to be able to account for.

There is just no comparison.

After all, why can they build and maintain large aircraft (among other things) that have a very miniscule failure rate, but for some reason, we can’t manage to do that with healthcare?

Because there is someone on the planet somewhere that can tell you exactly how anything on an airplane works, why it was designed that way, and how to fix it. Not so much for people.

I love the way people get distracted on tort reform when they talk about the medical system. It’s obvious where all the money is going — to the insurance companies! But hey let’s ignore that and just focus on something that is 1-2% of the overall cost instead. This place is f***ing hopeless, nothing will ever change here because people are just too f***ing stupid.

But hey at least the weather’s nice here in SD! Gonna be a good one today I think 🙂

American Red Cross was selling tainted Blood and factor 7
for 3 years during the Aids crisis. Until they came up with a
fast test, they just accepted contaminated blod.

The problem was that the French system was still doing it after the tests were available. The use of AIDS tainted blood was effectively done ‘knowingly’ vs ‘unknowingly’ because a test was not available. There is a big difference between the two. That is why the criminal prosecution. Look at the timescale.. three years vs over 10 years.
