Medical Malpractice is getting bigger



Share

We are very much informed about the different cases where in the doctor or the nurses are being sued under lawsuit cases. There have been thousand of cases around the world that tells about the medical malpractice of nurses and even doctors. The truth is that medical malpractices are not given enough attention but should be discussed clearly. There are lots of medical malpractices but not all of them are dealt with justice.
Some people especially the poor ones are not having the opportunity to complain with doctors even if there are horror evidences of the mistake by the medical practitioners. Do you want to hear an example? Are you somehow familiar with surgical instruments that are being left inside the body of the patient? Or have you heard a story about a patient who is supposed to be amputated with his left leg but wake up after the surgery that his right leg is the one that is being amputated? This is just some of the example. mediacal malpractice
I am a registered nurse but I don’t sympathize with doctors and nurses that have this kind of situation. Even if the mistake is not as serious as mention above I still believe that the patient have all the rights to complain. I am in particular even in public hospitals. There are cases where in the nurse makes a mistake but still blames the patient or even the patient’s relative. This is common especially in giving a medication. Giving a medication especially in hospital is the job of the nurse. So the blaming should not go for the patient itself.
Hospital malpractices are many to discuss. But the point goes in here: “Nurses and Doctors are holding lives so mistake is not acceptable”. Medical profession is serious and must be dealt this way.
