Can you imagine of Engineers or Computer Geeks killed hundreds of thousands of Americans annually via malpractice and shoddy practice?
Yes because it happened recently at Boeing when aviation engineers and programmers used a program that caused the rear stabilizers on the 737MAX to send planes taking off into a downward angle based on faulty AOA (angle of attack) data. Then they tried to cover it up. A classic case of malpractice and fraud.
The 737 MAX suffered a recurring failure in the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) causing two fatal accidents, Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, in which 346 people died.[8] It was subsequently grounded worldwide from March 2019 to November 2020. Investigations faulted a cover-up of a known defect by Boeing, and lapses in the certification by the FAA.[9][10] After being charged with fraud, Boeing settled to pay over $2.5 billion.
The average doctor can easily kill 346 people over the course of their career, just with narcotics prescriptions alone.
