This presentation is awesome! I believe pre-meds should learn about how law works in medicine before pursing medical school.
Agree!
This is a great video that helps educated physicians and medical students understand the different aspects of Medical Malpractice suits. I would even recommend this video to pre-medical students, or anyone looking into becoming a physician or a nurse, that way they know what they are getting themselves into before they start the long course.
Malpractice is a frequent and regrettable idea that all healthcare professionals, especially doctors, must be aware of. It is crucial that we adhere to protocols set forth by the facility wherein we work as doctors. Also, it is crucial that we always put the patient first. It can be easy to forget this, especially when we are exhausted and burnt out, but it is the cornerstone of our profession to care for and represent the patient at all times. By educating ourselves and keeping up with rules and regulations on a daily basis, we can help us make the right decisions when it comes to patient care. In order to prevent malpractice, we also need to be aware of the laws that are placed in place..Maintaining our knowledge and skills, as well as being aware of best practices as they are changed throughout time, is vital for preventing malpractice. I would implement patient-centered care plans and pro-active strategies to stop patient harm in my capacity as a doctor. For instance, in some circumstances, I might establish protocols for various circumstances. Even if the patient's vital signs appeared to be stable at the time, it would be important to take any claim that they were experiencing breathing problems seriously. We should either take them to the emergency room or closely monitor them to make sure their symptoms don't get worse or their oxygen saturations, pulse, respirations, or blood pressure change. I would also include a protocol requiring that, upon arrival, all patient history be accurately recorded in the patient's chart. If chronic diseases, allergies, and other histories are not disclosed, they may cause major problems.
Excellent and pleasure to listen to
Fantastic talk
Thank you
Dear Dr.: If you know you did wrong, would you fess up or cover up?
Patients trust doctors; doctors owe them their very best. If not for patients, doctors would be out if work. (It almost sounds like this video is telling others the best ways to 'cover up' what they have done)
This was excellent. I wish you were here in MO.
You say expert witness was kicked out of physicians society for giving false testimony during malpractice lawsuit ? You offer no testimoney other than heresy. If you were telling truth then one .. Dr. Could have challenged the false testimony during trial so either you lie or the defendent had no such testimony to challenge the victim of the negligence. Two ,you stated that the expert witness was reinstated after a judge after looking at the circumstances ordered the expert witness to be reinstated. You see you have made you own testimoney seem untruthful and earlier you even admitted that a high percentage of Dr's do malpractice everyday. Is it then true to call yourselves (Medical Professionals)???That is a self proclaimed title , not a title given by those who have suffered at the hand of 'medical professionals'
Man, you should work on your English, dude...I can barely understand you...
Good Stuff!! Very good information and very entertaining ;-) And I thought only nurses had to deal with ...haha, nevermind!!
I learned alot.
It’s appalling that a profession that was once the most noble of all is being called business overtly.
Name me one thing that is not called a business these days...
You missed the point
They do not work for free
Supreme Court labeled the practice of medicine as a business decades ago.
If you have been in a hospital lately you would know " nothing personal it was business"
do no harm
Unless, prior to a procedure, he signs a paper releasing you from liability for the harm...
One thing people should remember is that, no human is without error. Drs are not God that they are perfect. If found in a predicament, this video is merely helping one be aware of the consequences and ways on how they can get out of it having it at the back of their head that they are dealing with human life and they shouldn't be found in this situation again.
Scottish and Texan accent. What a combination.
One of the sexiest accents I have ever heard ( I am straight )...
Only one of the wonderful things you may find in Texas.
I view that properly speaking malpractice is a crime as opposed to the tort: doctors that cause any damage to patients ought be barred from practice by reason of having caused injury in the factum in order to protect the public from the individual whom committs malpractice, in light of the fact that the practice of medicine is a privilege extended by the government which must be constrained by the potential harm, not a right. Malpractice does not properly extend solely upon standard of care, but rather upon reasonable and prudent application of knowlege such that the standard of care continually raises as to advance the profession in the public interest.
First, do no harm. Try that.
Then you will be ok.
That does not stop lawsuits of litigants. Real world
