RESUMEN

Resumen Las demandas judiciales por la percepción del paciente de una actuación médica inadecuada son una realidad creciente en la práctica médica, la cual entraña una preocupación extendida en el gremio médico. Las demandas judiciales frecuentemente conllevan circunstancias adicionales a la primaria preocupación de prevenir o sancionar actos de negligencia médica. CETREMI emite algunas recomendaciones a los profesionales jurídicos y médicos para mejorar esta situación y evitar daños en la relación médico-paciente.


Abstract Lawsuits due to patient perception of inappropriate medical actions are a growing reality in medical practice, which entails widespread concern in the medical community. Lawsuits often entail additional circumstances beyond the primary concern of preventing or sanctioning acts of medical negligence. CETREMI proposes various recommendations aimed at legal and medical professionals to improve this circumstance and avoid harming the doctor-patient relationship.

RESUMEN

This special communication discusses the current legal and ethical requirements for informed consent to medical treatment of adults in Malawi. It analyzes the scope of the laws and code of ethics on professional discipline, including criminal privilege for surgeries and clarifies when insufficient disclosures entitle patients to compensation under civil law. Inconsistencies and uncertainties in the law are made apparent. It evaluates to which degree disclosure standards of other Commonwealth jurisdictions (e.g. the case of Montgomery) would be suitable for the health care setting of a country like Malawi that is characterized by shortages of resources, high illiteracy rates and a communitarian cultural context. Doctor-patient communication is not alien to African culture and part of sufficient informed consent. In order to balance the need for efficiency in health care delivery, accountability for quality care, fairness and effective patient-doctor communication the authors suggest to adopt the reasonable patient test only, if a defence of heavy workload on case-to-case basis is introduced at the same time. This does not dispense the need for organisational diligence on part of the institutional health care provider within its capacity

RESUMEN

Abstract We examined Colombian people's determinants of willingness to forgive. A sample of 104 adults was presented with 24 scenarios depicting a situation in which a medical error resulted in severe consequences for a patient. Four factors were manipulated in the scenarios: (a) the severity of consequences of the error (e.g., extremely severe, including the risk of death), (b) the degree of negligence associated with the physician's act, (c) apologies or contrition for the act from the physician (e.g., direct apologies at the bed of the patient), and (d) the patient's current health status (e.g., consequences fully canceled). Through cluster analysis, four qualitatively different positions were found: (a) never forgive, irrespective of circumstances (15% of the sample), (b) depends on the circumstances of the offense (55%), (c) almost always forgive (24%), and (d) undetermined (5%). As regards forgiveness, therefore, Colombians' views and practices were similar to people from other cultures' ones. If most participants in previous studies on Colombians' willingness to forgive expressed extreme positions -- either never forgive or always forgive, irrespective of circumstances, it was because they deliberately wished to express strong opinions regarding the proper treatment that, in their view, the violent people depicted in the scenarios - paramilitary, guerillas, and members of drug cartels - deserved.


Resumen Hemos examinado los determinantes del perdón en una muestra de 104 adultos colombianos, utilizando una técnica de escenarios. Cada escenario describía una situación de error médico que tuvo consecuencias graves para el paciente. Los factores manipulados en los escenarios eran: (a) la gravedad de las consecuencias (e.g., muy grave incluyendo el riesgo de muerte), (b) el nivel de negligencia por parte del médico, (c) la presencia de excusas o contrición por parte del médico (e.g., excusas personales frente al paciente en su cama del hospital), y (d) el estado de salud presente (e.g., el paciente ha vuelto a casa y las consecuencias han desaparecidas). A través de un análisis en clústeres, cuatro posiciones, cualitativamente distintas, fueron encontradas: (a) jamás perdonar, independientemente de las circunstancias (15% de la muestra), (b) depende de las circunstancias del daño ocurrido (55%), (c) casi siempre perdonar (24%), y (d) no sé (5%). En relación con el perdón entonces, los colombianos no difieren de las otras personas que pertenecen a otras culturas. Si en los estudios previos, la voluntad de los colombianos a personar ha sido tan escasa, esto se debe al contexto de posconflicto de estos estudios.

RESUMEN

The present study that is Medical Practice and Professional Liabilities in Bijapur Region of Karnataka was carried out in the northern part of Karnataka, details of the cases are collected from the district consumer forum Bijapur between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2009 (15 years). In each case, complaint of the complainant and response to a complaint by the opponent is studied and analyzed. Date of filing and date of judgment is noted in each case. If needed complainant and opponent were consulted personally for details about the case. The most common cause for litigation was found to be misguided allegation; this can be prevented by proper communication to the patient at first consultation. Hence, it is important to spend more time at first consultation. It is the utmost importance that professional liability claims should be avoided. The lawsuits not only have heavy emotional toll on doctors and patients but on the society as a whole.

RESUMEN

The doctrine of Res ipsa loquitor means that “facts or thing speaks for itself”. It signifies that further details are unnecessary; the facts of the case are self-evident. This doctrine is applied when there is gross medical negligence on the part of treating doctor. It is often being presented when the damage resulted from teamwork where the doctor and some other persons were involved. In such circumstances, the doctor himself being ignorant about the cause of damage and the person actually responsible may find it difficult to prove his innocence, though he may actually be innocent. I am presenting here a case report of year 2008, which is a new type of example of Res Ipsa Loquitor in which an expert opinion was given by a board of medical doctors about medical negligence as per orders of Hon’ High Court on the basis of documents forwarded by Police.
