Good health is one of the most significant things in human life which none of us can afford to lose. Lose of good health due to doctor's incompetence should be compensated without any limitations for a victim. Even though a huge sum of money can't make up the lost health, it will definately bring comfort and force health care personnel into better responsibility & care, thus decreasing mistreatment cases. Courts can make responsible decisions in ordering monetary compensations for victim(s).
