63. Aren't the victims human as well?
If a doctor injects 10ccs instead of 1ccs and that person is permanently disabled or dies, why should they have to take any responsibility for what the doctor did? The doctor is the expert and he gets paid a lot of money to do what he does.

I'm sure you could lower costs a lot by making it completely illegal to sue a doctor at all, but does that make it an acceptable solution? You're simply replacing one problem (high costs) with another (higher malpractice rates).
