Getting sued for medical mistakes doesn't help the stress levels placed on the HCPs either. They just add more and more procedures, paperwork, double checking and hoops to jump through to try and avoid mistakes, making an environment so stressful that mistakes are actually more likely to happen. If someone does make a mistake, it's costly for the company if they admit it. So they are more likely to cover it up for fear of losing their job or worse. Hence contaminated medicine being sent out.
I can imagine that a doctor who agrees that someone's implants are likely causing them to get sick and advise removal or advise against having them, will come under fire from those in the industry, who can threaten to sue as there is no concrete evidence that they cause illness. HCPs continually walk on eggshells.
