On a similar note, I work as a psychotherapist by profession and regularly treat patients with severe & persistent mental illness (SPMI), including personality disorders. Perhaps the accountability would be as simple as Not being allowed to work until their own health improves and they are no longer at risk of infecting the other patients. Again, this is a case where the doctor is Not to blame for infecting his/her patients, but is in fact responsible for it, and may be held accountable in some form or another as a result. Let’s say this doctor is infected with a virus and goes to work, accidentally exposing their patients to a potentially fatal virus they are carrying.
Another example could be a doctor who works in an intensive care unit with very sick patients who are barely clinging to life.
