Reason ... there is a higher standard of proof. Civil court is an
emotional exercise with little protection for the defendant.


Incompetent docs do go to trial from time to time... e.g., Michael

Yup that's one in a row.
How many malpractice torts have been filed in LA County since

No idea. Feel free to report back. You claimed that incompetent docs are not
going to criminal court. I cited a recent example.
