There's also a cost to sue and it can be $120k.
Those diagnoses which are backed by test results are the best.

120k can be a small sum for big companies (employers) and insurance companies (for me cases), esp if the quantum involved (e.g insured payout amount) can be up to millions.
I personally think it's unlikely, but I don't know, if it is just me, seem to be getting paranoid nowadays and it is affecting my clinical practice. (E.g I tend to write longer entries/return advice, do more tests just to reassure myself, even though I know pre test probability is very low)
