... it only makes sense according to the laws in place. So, with that, there's validity in yours and my argument, as well as, to Elleng's.

The system is corrupt. So, my OP may have been a little off, but as a symptom of the whole, it stinks to high heaven that a patient can't get redress for being disfigured for life. So, I may have placed the blame in the wrong place, who knows - but again, to have such laws in place in the first place is egregious.
