Expect TIME.com to have such silliness.

From where we sit (and doctors think they’re the ones who are in the best position to know what malpractice means and when it happens), there is little or no correlation between doing bad stuff and getting sued.

I forget wherein I studied this, but the best indicator of a malpractice lawsuit is the patient’s satisfaction with the level of interaction with the physician.  Examples include doctors who just don’t listen to the patient (so get sued lots), and general practitioners with great rapport with patients (so don’t get sued even if they did make a mistake).

I’ve thought about the reductions of medical school tutions.  It may be the idealist in me, but I am inclined to believe that more doctors would work for free/less if they did not have to worry about hundreds of thousands in loans.  I know that if tuition was drastically reduced, I would have a hard time not working with the disadvantaged.
