After killing a patent they falsified the records and after being caught and admitting it would not apologize to the family. The only justice is they paid 21 million dollars because they can not reverse what they did. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/ne.../05/07/awarded-woman-died-operation/70935370/
This is definitely not something a person who is getting ready to go into the hospital would want to hear about that's for sure. Unfortunately there are some situations that aren't pretty where hospitals are concerned. But sometimes we have no choice but to go to a hospital for care, and then we have to trust that the staff will do what is best. I am grlad that the family of this patient didn't rest till they saw justice served. They knew something wasn't right with the whole thing and didn't rest till they got answers. The sad thing though is that no one in this hospital is facing charges for falsifying documents. Come on this is a form of fraud and its against the law. We have teachers in one state going to jail for falsfying information on the AIMS test to apparently set an example that this sort of thing won't be tolerated well then an example should be set here as well. If this hospital were held accountable crimminally it would give a message to others in the healthcare field that such behavior won't be tolerated, but that didn't happen.
My niece went to the hospital for surgery and the doctor used a marker on my niece the day before to where he was going to operated and signed it. This is just a small thing to do but it was a smart thing it prevented a accident like surgery in the wrong place.
Mario I have not ignored this topic. I was waiting for the results of a case. A Nurse has been found guilty of murdering patients. Doubt now about nurses qualifications. Among the evidence produced by the prosecution was a self-penned letter found at Chua's home in Stockport. In the letter, described as "the bitter nurse confession" by Chua, he said he was "an angel turned into an evil person" and "there's a devil in me", who had things he would "take to the grave". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-32782153
I worked as a legar researcher reviewing Medical Malpractice cases. One case I reviewed the doctor operated on the wrong arm, another case the doctor removed the wrong leg both cases cost the hospitals millions of dollars . You do have concerns when you have to go into the hospital most of the it does work out for the patient.
A reporter has uncovered a rampant trade in bogus exam certificates being sold in Manila. He managed to obtain all the documents he needed to work abroad for £43 including a fake graduation photo http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3086869/For-just-43-bought-bogus-papers-qualified-nurse.html
Are there any statistics to show if those without valid credentials , certificates, or documents have caused as many deaths as those who have the valid credentials, certificates and documents ? i.e. are the hospitals safe ? 'safer' with those without valid credentials, certificates or documents or 'safer' with those who have everything valid to work there ?
As being a person of some age I can remember when the doctor made house calls and you went to the doctor when you were sick without appointment. The doctor would check you out go into the back room and you could hear him making up some concoction and come out with medicine he made giving you information of the illness and a prescription for more if the medicine was not enough. What ever happened to the real doctors of the past. A video from a doctor who reminded me of the past.

I met some like that. Believe it or not, there are still some today practicing the same healing methods as century ago. They don't need to advertise anyplace, they are so well liked and their services are so effective. This is painful, patients betrayed. It hurts many.
When I lived in Indiana, our doctor's office was in his home in the middle of our neighborhood. I recall walking over there, and my mother paying him with cash. We moved from there in 1963.
I'm 75, and I can't recall as a child or as an adult, any doctor ever making a house call. Nor do I remember any doctor mixing medications in his office. And the doctor was paid in cash, not chickens or produce. YMMV
I don't remember any doctor making a house call, and I don't remember any doctor going behind a curtain to mix up a magic potion to cure me. Always an illegible prescription scribbled on a white pad.
The only medication thing I recall our "in neighborhood" doctor doing was giving me an oral penicillin regime. It was a strawberry-flavored powder that I added water to and drank for each dose. I believe it was a sample he had. At least, that's how I remember it. It might have been a different med. Other than that, I'm with everyone else. My doctor was not an apothecary.
I guess I am the luck person who had those memories. As far as doctors making house calls they still do down here and they bring free medicine as well. Maybe that is the price for living in a third world country.
