So I'm really interested in considering a career in a specific medical career but I'm a bit discouraged by the fact that doctors can potentially end up in jail for medical malpractice or medical negligence if the worse happens but do you guys know how many years would a doctor go to jail for if the worse actually happens for a mistake he/she made or for negligence? Is there any way to check this online? Are there any official governmental websites that include US laws regarding this matter?
