The problem with David Dobbs analysis of our present medical malpractice system, and the potential advantages of adopting something like the Swedish system is that it fails to address the fundamental issue of why victims of medical negligence should be compensated any differently than are the victims of any other sort of tortfeasor.
That's one problem. Another problem is that he starts from the premise that there actually is a "malpractice crisis"-- notwithstanding the Congressional Budget Office study he gives the back of his hand to. Another problem is that he misstates the plaintiff's burden of proof.
I ain't buying it.
