Medical Negligence - is There a Defined Pattern?

Abstract:

During the last decades more and more complex and unexpected medical and surgical approaches to different pathology seem to appear. Living in this growing bubble makes the authors wonder about the importance of the human factor in solving the patients problem as the technology fast rate of evolution looks sometimes capable of substituting almost everything. The nowadays direction towards a patient customized medical act does not leave any doubt on the still high influence of the human factor on the outcomes of medicine. The authors state the above conclusion following a short interval of time studied (3 years). We have tried to highlight a pattern of evolution of the medical negligence cases in which the death of the patient was concluded to be in direct relation with iatrogenic pathology. 13 cases are discussed and selected by strictly applied criteria from a total of about 2000 autopsies. The main statements of the authors are that no matter the advances of medical technologies the human factor is at the top when discussing about iatrogenic pathology and more than that the evolution of the technical part seems to put even more pressure on the shoulders of the doctor. One of the important side effects are growing numbers of doctors practicing a defensive medicine as the state and medical law are not very well harmonized in order to clear these aspects for both medical and patient parts involved. Keywords: forensic medicine, medical negligence, malpraxis, iatrogenic pathology
