Once upon a time there was a gal. One day, the doctors told her she had a hole in her heart. The only surgery would only be performed by this cardiologist who was far, far away. She knew that she didn't have the means to get there at the time but she never lost hope. She decided to call the surgeon and explain her situation. The doctor said yes he would perform the operation for free and she would be okey. She was glowing with joy and happiness as she knew she would have a life, one she had never had before. A life that she had dreamed of for a long time.The gal was at peace, she knew everything would be okey.Soon and soon everything she had never done due to the problem, she would finally do it. The time came for her to depart to the country only to find out that the doctor had too many cases of medical malpractice. The gal was confused whether the cases were real or its the world that we're living in. The court ordered the doctor to take the medical exam again in order to practice in that country. Unfortunately the doctor failed the exam. The gal was devastated and she knew that she was never going to be the same. The gal finally decided to live her life with the hole in her heart and take day by day until she could find the best doctor in the universe who could finally perform the operation.

Put yourself in this gals position, would you let the doctor perform the operation on you. Keep the following in mind:

1. He's being sued for Medical malpractice

2. Not all medical malpractice are genuine, some

people want to make money from the doctors.

BUT THE BIGGEST DILEMMA IS: He failed the medical exam.

So, would you take your chance knowing that you might die on the operating table??.
