This points to another crisis folded into the story - and yet not again directly addressed. The psychological needs of high risk high performance work. First responders, medical and physicians are the highest suicide rates. Yet those professionals are culturally dissuade from getting any counseling care.

You would fall off your chair if I told you what they did to me. It is So Horrific. I was told that juries won't make a judgement against a "doctor." I WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE I USED TO BE. THE SUFFERING IS UNSPEAKABLE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY DESERVE TO BE SUED. I WORRY EVERY DAY THAT I WON'T SURVIVE THIS.

if you make a major mistake at your job, it doesn't matter what that job is. you deserve to face accountability. the end. if you can't deal with accountability on the level of what physicians deal with, then don't become a physician. be an accountant or a chef. yes false accusations are terrible but frankly medical errors of all kinds outweigh that by so much it's disgusting to act like it makes patients rights less important.

Doctors pay insurance premiums but insurers dodge even the best of claims. Did the Doctor who committed suicide have mental health support?

Participants should familiarize themselves with the mindset of American law, adversarial process; requiring good faith.

I LOVED this film, which so accurately reflects its title.
