Why not Doctors Be Given Impunity While Treating Their Patients?

Why not Doctors Be Given Impunity While Treating Their Patients?


Error of judgment is not a crime. All judges whether in lower court, High Court or Supreme Court are given impunity for rendering their decisions. We have never heard a High Court judge being challenged in Supreme Court for giving a wrong decision.
In many Supreme Court decisions, it is clearly mentioned that error of judgment is not a crime. In Cricket, everyday, we see empires giving wrong decisions but they are never penalized. Unless they give a decision by taking money or give a deliberate wrong decision, they cannot be challenged in any court of law. Members of Parliament also have impunity for their behavior and working in the Parliament.
Unless similar guidelines are applicable to medical profession, the patients and doctor relationship will go on worsening.
