Isn't this what malpractice is?

It's only malpractice when there's negligence. If other doctors agree that they could have made the same mistake, it's not malpractice.

		You also don't sue for malpractice unless something goes catastrophically wrong. I've had doctors make ludicrously bad diagnoses, and while it sucked until I found a competent doctor and got proper treatment, it wasn't something I was going to go to court over.
