Going through medical school and years of post-doc training makes physicians less responsible than people with no medical knowledge whatsoever? Yikes! If this is true, I hope the AMA lobbyists who bribed that turd onto the books were paid well for their evil deeds...

It's probably also not great for patients with rare diseases, that physicians are penalized for trying to solve problems no physician has solved before.

Yep, if safer or more effective innovative techniques become known, US MDs are not expected to practice them until those innovations become accepted as the standard of care. Other industries/professions don't get that break.
