Court Uncourt Magazine - Volume VII Issue 9

In this issue

To err is human, an existence marred by misjudgments. Like every aspect of our existence, errors also infiltrate our professional lives. Due to the imperfectness of human nature, errors are inherent in medicine. It may be difficult for the health care providers to accept their fallibility, to acknowledge mistakes, or to disclose their errors. What bars the physicians from being candid with their patients concerning medical complications? Is it the shame, blame and concern about their reputation? Or the fear of litigation? Would it be better if the medical practitioners properly disclose the error in a timely matter of what happened, why the error occurred and how it will be prevented in the future? Medical mistakes can be used as an opportunity to improve patient care in the future. When there is medical malpractice, the medical malpractice law makes it possible for the patients to duly recovery compensation for the harm they have sustained from a sub-standard treatment, when the health care provider has deviated from the quality of care that is normally expected in similar situations. The standards and regulations for medical malpractice can differ between countries.
