Medical errors vs police errors

Medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Appx 250k people die per year.
If a doctor with 7 years schooling kills someone by mistake, its an error. Nothing much happens.
If a cop with 9 weeks training makes a mistake leading to someone’s death, he is convicted of murder.
How long before the woke crowd goes after doctors and nurses?

They are already talking about inequity in medicine
Yet fail to acknowledge that eating junk food as 100% of your diet is a contributing factor in health problems

If there is malpractice something certainly happens

Killing someone with the slip of a scalpel or due to medical complications is very different than killing someone with a gun or chokehold.

I went in for a physical one day and the doc jerked me off. True story. Billing was off too. They put prostate exam.

Is it though?
Scalpel is a doctors tool
Gun and choke hold is the polices tool
And a doctor doesn’t have to deal with an adrenal dump or an unpredictable criminal

You interact with doctors on a voluntary basis.
Your interaction with cops may not be voluntary. (Most states, you give implied consent for them to stop you. Hence license and registration checkpoints.) You may say “Well, if you’ve done nothing wrong...” But things have gone wrong with police interacting with people who have done nothing wrong.

True, but they are much more likely to wrong when are on drugs and resist arrest.

Fair enough, but people who have the ability to just pull you over and start asking questions and detain you for no good reason should be held to a higher standard of conduct than people who treat you only after you’ve given explicit, affirmative consent.

Why don’t you give me that doc’s name and address and I’ll look into this for you.

My cousin was in the er having a fibromyalgia attack and I was trying to get help and the nurses yelled at me to put on a mask and stop interrupting the tik tok

Not surprising in the least. They fail to acknowledge how a failure to comply with simple directions from a LEO is a contributing factor in 'health problems'...

Other than the affirmative consent I’ve already mentioned, doctors carry malpractice insurance to pay for mistakes...and they do pay.
Do police officers or departments carry malpractice insurance?

I agree with you.
However, you’ve got to remember. Cops deal with the general public all day. They don’t get paid well and have a really shitty job. Most of them are good guys, but like in every profession, there are assholes.

This is the same goddamn excuse shitty teachers give for being shitty.
No one is holding a gun to your head to be a cop or a teacher. You agree to do the job for the pay offered to you.

I have never seen a doctor go to jail over a medical error, or held criminally liable. I have seen one go to jail for billing for unnecessary procedures. They can kill people, but don't fk the govt. out of money!
Malpractice is usually a civil thing and victims are compensated.

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - A surgeon trained in Memphis was convicted of maiming and killing his patients and sentenced to life in prison. "Really who he is was someone who called himself a cold-blooded killer, someone who calls himself a god at times, who believed he was a god at times," said Justin McCants of the Texas DA's office. The man known as Dr. Death got his undergraduate degree from University of Memphis and went to medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
