I'm not sure the state is even qualified to say. After all, they've lost or settled a number of lawsuits filed by inmates for medical malpractice.  And since inmates have a higher burden of proof than those that are not, that's really saying something.  Think about it: The same department of law that is up in arms about this doctor's alleged malpractice has been defending state employees who commit medical mal practice--and losing. Hypocrisy is our state government's middle name.
