The hospital took a risk on my husband and was the first hospital in a 200 mile radius even sort of willing to consider him. The MD who ultimately performed the surgery was out-voted by his two group members about taking my husband. He told us in interview that he couldn't do it. The other MDs believed that they could.<br /><br />I still wish he would have taken a new set of pictures before he got out the chest saw, but he didn't.<br /><br />Looking for a transplant facility was AWFUL and I feared that in suing him the group would be reluctant to take on another complicated case.<br /><br />I just hope that the MD will call a confident collegue next time.Heatherhttp://allonsee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555602526434224601.post-82264260378033790392010-10-27T08:16:26.248-04:002010-10-27T08:16:26.248-04:00Malpractice system remains a flaw in the healthcar...Malpractice system remains a flaw in the healthcare system. I am sure someday it will be fixed. <br /><br />Interesting incident informed by a colleague<br /><br />Help Thy Neighbor<br /><br />Neighbor's wife comes and reports her husband is having severe chest pain. Cardiologist neighbor gives an Aspirin and says he should go to the hospital immediately and as a good neighbor take them to the hospital. Patient doesn't survive the heart attack. Neighbor sues the cardiologist. Because cardiologist should have called 911 and patient should have been brought to the hospital by ambulance and by bringing them to the hospital in his car he delayed the care for patient. <br /><br />We are all just humanRajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760344293047578770noreply@blogger.com
