I am not sure if I have mentioned this but I used to work in Insurance and I was never involved in Medical Malpractice but I did do Professional Indemnity.
When I first heard about this the liability side was the first thing I thought of. If I was in charge of the Hospitals Risk Management, and we are talking about Mega Corporations, I would be shouting NOOOOOOOOOO.
How are you going to persuade a court that somebody who wants to chop their ####### off is of sound mind? It is a contradiction in terms. And then add children into the equation? Put it in front of a Jury?, just a question of how big the cheque will be.
