> I am a software developer and if I write some piece of medical software with bugs that are so blatant in it, I'd see hell up to potentially being sued into oblivion
Based on watching the medical software field as a consumer (patient) and friends who are doctors, this is a fantasy. The quality of software in this field is abysmal and there seems to be almost no repercussions to those who develop or sell it.
Which is precisely why this sort of thing can be rolled out without much fear by those pushing it.
