Jury System in Medical Malpractice Cases

The speaker raises concerns about the jury system in medical malpractice cases, expressing a preference for decisions made by physicians within the same specialty. They believe that such professionals would better understand the complexity of medical errors. The speaker questions the logic of using a jury of lay people, suggesting that it may result in decisions influenced more by persuasion and discredit of expert witnesses than relevant expertise. They highlight that the United States is the only country in the world that uses a jury system to decide medical malpractice cases, which contributes to the fear of being sued in the medical profession.
