I think that Doctors who make mistakes should be subjected to serious
verbal
abuse. What do you think?

Some do . . . in court. Then again there is a difference between
*negligence* and making a mistake. Human beings make mistakes, and doctors
are human. Malpractice cases should ideally be decided on the basis of
negligence, but typically the one with the deepest pockets loses. That's
always the doctor.
