Most doctors are not negligent
Dr K K Aggarwal
In the United States, just 2% of practicing physicians are responsible for half of the nation's total medical malpractice payments. Best doctors often have more cases filed against them because they simply take on riskier patients. This does not necessarily mean doctors against whom the cases have been filed are bad doctors. Those who are more likely to get sued are those who dive right into the most difficult cases, those who are willing to take cases where there are no other options, that may not have a good outcome and other doctors will turn down. Otherwise all doctors will take only simple cases where they know they will have success and therefore, their records stay clean. Medical malpractice claims are much lower when patients feel that they can talk to their doctor and most importantly, when they feel that their doctors are listening to them.
