If you fire people for stuff they didn’t maliciously introduced you will end up with no people to work with.
Imagine jailing doctors for every patient that died you would be out of doctors quite soon.

The legal system already has sufficient cop-out: for anything that you should have been aware of, or would have been informed about.
Eg. doctors do get sued and fired for malpractice, if they did something no other skilled doctor would reasonably do ("let's just use the instruments from the previous surgery").
Here are a bunch more things to make you even more scared.
- Oops! mistakenly left some instrument inside and sewed up the patient - Junior begging to do certain step of the surgery while the anesthesiologist asking them to just get a move on. - Administered a drug to a newborn baby which was supposed to be given to the mother. (My sister's colleague did this with no consequences)
If the doctor is criminally negligent they could be jailed.
My sister knows a doctor who botched a surgery due to an argument with a junior who wanted to do some step of the surgery. The senior one was not having it at all and just threw the scalpel directly at him. Nothing happened to him because if we start firing doctors for this, we would be missing out on all the surgeries he did successfully.
> Nothing happened to him
There is a world of difference between "nothing happened" and being fired. Just like in the NBA, a fine (monetary penalty) of a sufficient size will get someone's attention without losing their skills forever.
That's kind of obvious, I didn't think it has to be spelled out.
My point is that something doesn’t have to be malicious to be criminally negligent, if the law says so. I’m suggesting that some of the security breaches we’ve seen ought to have been criminally negligent. Perhaps they weren’t under existing law, but I think they ought to be.
We don't get delivered to us 18-year-olds that happen to be in perfect health. And a lot of Americans don't believe in wellness visits. Although more and more it's the insurance companies that are practicing medicine. Sorry it's a sore subject with me lol
