no doctor would ever touch any patient ever again.

My country has heavy immunity for doctors. I think we can't sue them, like it's automatically a regional arbitration hearing, and at no point can one get "pain and suffering" but only "recoup of costs to fix as much as possible" kind of stuff.

So if the doc removes the wrong foot, he'll lose his job, and you'll get a pegleg or something like that.

Hmm. Just reading that makes me think the rate of vindictive doctor slayings is too low for that to be true.

....and immunity is exactly what this is about.

Every time you get surgery, you sign a waiver basically saying "there's an inherent risk to this, we're not liable unless someone really screws up". And that's exactly what Disney is trying here - just using an absolutely bonkers interpretation of it.
