And they really do feel like they will have no life if that happens to them.

Gita PensaGUEST
I've met so many doctors who are being sued, and they say to me, like, "Well, my plan was to practice until I got sued, and then I was gonna quit." And it doesn't really work like that, and even if you quit, the lawsuit's still there, so [chuckles] it's not really the best plan, I would say.
