This whole deal is unfortunate ... but it happens. No system is perfect. We had the same thing over here, in Newfoundland ... major scandal, major lawsuits ... but the problem is fixed. I know that it is terrible for those involved directly; and it shouldn't happen. But, happen it does. We also had a Provincial pathologist in Ontario who decided to fudge the evidence in cases where he thought the accused was guilty!!!!!!!!! Several people were incarcerated for murdering their children. Problem is: they were innocent. I think that one has to accept fallibility, even in the health care system. I think it is wrong to question the system, when the fault lies with individuals. Mis-diagnoses and medical screw ups in general are going to happen. Look at the price of malpractice insurance in the US! But, they are a lot like airplane crashes ... their dramatic nature obscures the fact that they are realtively rare.
