Let's say you sign up for one of these arbitration clauses, and then the doctor chops off the wrong leg because they were smoking crack.

In England there are a bunch of different regulators (Care Quality Commission; British Medical Association; the trust that runs the hospital) and also law for compensation.

Are people saying that you'd have no option but to go through this arbitration system? And that it would all be secret?

(I'm not suggesting the English system is good here - it's often described as terrible if you have a complaint.)
