So doctors aren't "trained"? You said: "Cops go though countless hours of rigorous training to prevent stuff like this from happening". What "stuff" are you talking about? There are times a police officer makes an honest mistake like the female officer who tried deploying her taser in Minnesota and accidentally shot a felon trying to flee. She gasped on camera when she realized what she mistakenly did and was seen on camera later distraught and clearly shaken. Her career is over, her pension after almost 30 years of an unblemished record is gone and she will now be imprisoned for years for a mistake. My only question is why don't we prosecute a doctor or a nurse for that matter who administer a drug at the wrong dosage or the wrong drug altogether killing a patient? Why don't we prosecute a doctor who amputates the wrong limp in error (it has happened many times). There are 250,000 wrongful deaths in hospitals every year. We simply don't imprison healthcare workers for errors, but we sure do with police. Why? I am talking about MISTAKES ONLY, not bad cops with bad intent doing wrong, but good cops who make a mistake. .

Is that an Alt Right/Reality requirement? Not looking things up and just flingling lies like monkey poo at a target practice range?

There is a slight difference between a cop putting someone in an illegal choke hold and somehow unexpectedly miraculously managing to choke him to death while choking him and a doctor trying to resuscitate someone who got choked to death after getting choked to death.
That being said, doctors ARE charged, proecuted, sentenced and incarcerated for negligence when warranted. Sued too, which is a BIG reason medical costs are so high. Malpractice suits have boosted malpractice fines and thus malpractice insurance, something so high that many doctors fresh out of medical school can't even afford to enter the practice.

Try looking things up past a Tucker Carlson rant.

Oh, don't like? Don't go. Don't give them your/our money. Don't accept their treatment. Don't take risks, DONE.

Probably the most misinformed, leftist, clueless rant I have seen in a long time. Nothing you spewed in any way is related to the meme. Thanks for playing.

P.S. Did you miss the part that doctors accidentally kill an estimated 250,000 Americans every year. They too kill people by mistake and are not prosecuted for it. That's the entire point of the meme.
