Yeah, that is easy to say but doctors settle malpractice suits quite often when they did not commit malpractice because it is just better to not be dragged into court, into the public view, etc. Granted different circumstances and I do not know the law well enough to say that one settlement would preclude others from them suing.
Doctors settle all the time because there is no commonality between patients so they can't assert the same fact pattern over and over. It's cheaper to just pay someone 50 grand to go away than to litigate it.
