In a lawsuit happy society, everyone is to blame. But are they? Consider the case where a patient does not follow doctor's orders for wound care (i.e., difficult to prove) and acquires a post-operative infection that requires another medical procedure.

Who could be named in the lawsuit? 

Provide rationale for why malpractice reform should be passed and what that reform would consist of (i.e., damage award limits, pre-judicial validation, etc.).
