So you post an example of a pharmacist from 2006 that went to jail for malpractice, when I have countless of other examples of worse mistakes than this of doctors NOT going to jail. I guarantee I know more doctors than you do, my mother and several family members included.
Doctors have something called malpractice insurance, I'm sure you've heard of it. Many law suits involving doctors have led to a patient's death. I feel like you're leaving something out of this story that made them deem is "reckless endangerment". Most of these cases are not criminal cases unless it's proven that the doctor did it on purpose.
"Some pharmacy trade groups contest that Cuyahoga County, the State of Ohio, and the Ohio Board of Pharmacy took excessive action against the supervising pharmacist. They contest that making Cropp out to be a
pariah discourages pharmacists and hospitals to report medication-related errors, and actually increases the chances for patient harm.[sup]

This case is unusual, people do not go to jail for medically related errors. It sounds like they just wanted to make an example of him which could backfire cause people don't hold up to a code of honor and honesty. I may be wrong but do pharmacists have to pay malpractice insurance or is it a different system? Doctors get punished for stuff like this by having to pay a higher premium and getting sued.
