IANAL either but I agree the patients would have a much better chance, particularly if it is a state where they can get the full money from whoever has it, independent of their contribution to the problem. So if the doctor has insurance, he will probably pay most of the penalty anyway. It would be an interesting test of the EULA though. The software company may just be in the hole for the cost of the license.
