If you've ever tried to find a new doctor, you know it can be hard to get information on who is good. Some say the lack of information increases the risk of medical malpractice. One year ago, Stan Bridger was diagnosed with cancer. "They gave me 3 to 6 months to live and I'm on my fourth month now," said Bridger, a cancer patient. He says for more than a year his doctor told him a small growth on his foot was nothing, even though it doubled in size. It turned out to be cancer that has now spread throughout Bridger's body. Part of his leg has been removed and he's preparing to die. His new doctor told him this didn't have to happen if the first doctor had simply removed the growth. "I trusted this guy so much it's unbelievable. I sent other people to him."
