Probably because you could die from medical malpractice tomorrow but the final determination will take many years to resolve in the courts. Is there much value in going back and revising a number of deaths from 2019? Maybe. If the numbers are large enough or reflect a pattern that could be corrected/improved. More likely is there is nothing actionable there.

The action would be reducing the dangers of medical procedures and individuals feeling empowered to advocate for their safety and treatment.

To butcher a Rick & Morty quote, "that just sounds like malpractice with extra steps".

Malpractice is when a sophisticated person navigates the legal system and receives a settlement.

What im wondering is why the general public doesn’t know that surgery isn’t an absolute good.
