The Truth Behind Medical Negligence Claims - Lawdoc
Medical negligence occurs when a professional fails to provide the standard care and medication give to a patient. The kind of negligence that occurs whilst in the hands of medical professionals involves injury being inflicted on the patient when it could have been avoided.
Pain and suffering – Negligence caused by professionals has more negative effects on the patient’s life than when they first went to the doctor. Aside from knowing that you’re not yet healed, you are also nursing a new injury and pain, causing you more stress than relief. Income you may have forfeited – Some of the first stages of negligence are often tolerable, wherein some patients still go see a doctor thinking that the pain they’re suffering is just a side effect and is still related to prior medications. A lot of money is wasted in this stage, when it could have been avoided in the first place. Disability – Imagine never being able to work again. Or the simple task of bathing and changing yourself being just too much. Losing an entire limb, or a mere scar on your face, can affect your whole being and self-confidence.

Senators Want Medical Boards Investigated
WASHINGTON -- Three top-ranking senators have asked for a federal investigation into how effective state medical boards are at tracking and disciplining doctors who have been sanctioned by their hospitals or managed care organizations.
Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont), Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) asked Daniel Levinson, director of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Health and Human Services to undertake an evaluation of state medical boards, the first such investigation in 15 years.
In a letter, the trio outlined a number in instances in which physicians were sanctioned by their employer for wrongdoing -- which included sexual misconduct, malpractice, and fraud -- but did not face any consequences from their state medical board.
The letter cites a report from the consumer group Public Citizen that found no state licensing disciplinary action against more than half of the 10,672 doctors in the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) who had at least one revocation or restriction of clinical privileges from 1990 to 2009.
