text: This is a terrible tragedy no doubt.  No financial reward will ever replace a lost daughter.  I can also understand that there is tremendous anger at the health care system in general.  It is dysfunctional - perhaps beyond repair.  We need to be very careful where we point fingers though.
  
  Mom's quote makes me very sad, "a mistake was made and justice was served." 
  
  Human life is incredibly fragile.  It is amazing that it works at all.  We have grown spoiled to think that the medical system can fix everything.  Tragedy happens daily.    Doctors and nurses work in this terrible system trying to do the best they can (most the time).  Are they to pay out millions of dollars whenever mistakes result in bad outcomes?  They are human.  No physician can be right all the time.  I expect patients everywhere would be a lot happier with their care if their physicians didn't fear that any new patient encounter could ruin them financially. One life ended, another seriously wounded. Is that justice?
