Georgia law makes govt run facilities immune from liability.

Apparently the woman whose skin melted off due to a medication error won't get her lawsuit and nobody was fired on account that Georgia law dictates that you're immune from liability because they are apart of the govt. So basically they can do as much malpractice as they want and they're immune.

@Crazywaterspring I think maybe that's what it was but it's not like she did it to herself. I think that's what is saving this hospital from not having any liability though.

@SatanBurger "Tort reform" minimizes responsibility for errors etc.

@Crazywaterspring Yeah well that was a pretty big error. Not sure why they gave her a large amount of a medication that's known for doing that to skin, it even says it on the bottle.
