Am I missing something in this case, what was done wrong here? The patient was obviously very sick with many chronic illnesses, why did they reach settlements? A cardiac surgeon I worked with for a long time would always tell me it didn’t matter how well you treated a patient, they can always sue you and you would have to pay just to save time and make the problem go away. Is this really how it works? No wonder healthcare is so expensive in the US
