Why do people think we should do away with medical malpractice?

1) Doctors make mistakes all the time. Should they not be held accountable for their mistakes?
2) Malpractice cases are RARELY won by patients.
3) Malpractice cases account for a very small percentage of overall health care costs in this country.

Why do people look at Malpractice cases as being the problem with medical care in this country? Do you think the health care lobbyists in Washington, D.C. have something to do with this? Do you think that Doctors should not be held accountable for the mistakes that they make?

Bill H, if the doctor operated on your child and left some gauze inside you would be the first inline at that lawyers office.

You think 30-40% is too much for a lawyers fee, why not instead complain about the cost of every office visit instead.

Additionally most of these lawyers charge 0 fees upfront. Lawsuits last for years, and during this time the lawyer gets nothing, he has to feed his kids and family. For like 2 years of work, he doesnt even get that much, just because he gets it in a lump sum doesnt some how undermine the work the lawyer does.

Malpractice Medical TURP Transurethral Resection Prostate Surgery 1

http://www.PreOp.com
Medical Malpractice and Patient Education Company Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate – or TURP. But what exactly does that mean?

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that is part of your reproductive system.

It provides some of the fluid contained in semen.
Medical Malpractice
The prostate is located just under the bladder and behind the testicles.
The urethra — a hollow tube that carries both urine and semen to the penis — passes through the prostate.

In some men, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include:

* a full bladder feeling even when the bladder is empty

* pain when urinating

* weak urinary stream

* infertility

* and sexual dysfunction.
Medical Malpractice
To relieve you of your symptoms, your doctor feels that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called TURP.

TURP is designed to relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate.
It is also a diagnostic procedure. Tissue removed during a resection of the prostate or TURP is routinely screened for the presence of cancer.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

How can I find out if my Dr has been sued for medical malpractice?

Is there a website (that doesn’t charge) that allows me to find out the my doctor has been sued for medical malpractice before I have surgery?

You usually can’t find out if a physician has been sued, but you can find if any disciplinary action has been taken against his/her license.

You don’t mention what state you’re in, so search for "[your state] Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision". Most states have websites that allow you to view this information.

For example, Oklahoma’s site is http://www.okmedicalboard.org/./display.php?content=md_search_advanced:md_search_advanced. (Try it–it’s interesting to see how many docs are on probation for drug and alcohol abuse.)

Malpractice Medical Tonsillectomy Surgery 1

http://www.PreOp.com
Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFOMedical Malpractice and Patient Education Company
Your doctor has recommended that you – or your child – undergo surgery to remove you or your child’s tonsils. But what does that actually mean?

Your tonsils are located in the throat at the back of your mouth – one on either side of the uvula. Together, your tonsils work to help fight infection entering the body through the mouth. They are part of your immune system.

Occasionally tonsils themselves become infected. This condition is called tonsillitis.
Medical Malpractice
During an attack of tonsillitis, the tonsils can become inflamed and can cause fever and body aches. In addition, tonsillitis can increase the chance of other complicating illnesses, including:

Enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck.

Enlargement of the tonsils causing difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Recurrent bronchitis. And other conditions caused by infection.
Medical Malpractice
In most cases, a doctor will recommended the surgical removal of tonsils only when tonsillitis becomes chronic and begins to interfere with daily life.

Luckily, in most people, the immune system is more than able to compensate for the loss of the tonsils and having them removed will not in any way weaken you. You should make sure you have spoken to your doctor about the particular reasons behind his or her recommendation.
Medical Malpractice
And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.
