I know, My Uncle was a Surgeon, years after an operation some one sued him and the anesisologist, "gas passer", because they used a technique that wasn't the best technique out there.
Here's the thing: The better technique had not been invented when the operation took place!
My uncle's insurance took it to court where the Judge through out the claim after reading when the new technique was invented.
The anesisologist was insured through the hospital, they settled out of court.
