Top 7 signs of medical malpractice

Updated: Oct 29, 2019

1 Non-existence of doctor-patient relationship: Over one-fifth of treatment plan decisions are made during consultation, so, it is a red card if the communication is not flowing between the two parties. 2 unexplained disease progression: Worsening of medical condition with no explanation, no effort to improve it and finally attributing it to spiritual attack at the lethal stage.

3 Patient's little or no knowledge about their diagnosis: if your Doctor is unwilling to discuss your diagnosis with you or feel you are too inquisitive,

then, that is an indicator that something is probably wrong.

4 Discrepancy between symptoms and diagnosis: If your symptoms do not match your diagnosis. There is every possibility that you have been misdiagnosed.

5 Outcome of laboratory investigations not received or discussed with the patient:

Certain diagnoses have accompanying test(s) that are essential for additional information. Samples were collected from you to run test and access to the result is your right.


Use the red card, if you have to

6 Unnecessary tension among the healthcare professionals in the hospital: People are often unsettled when they bridging a procedure or doing something that is inappropriate. Watch out for the red flag!

7 Unlabeled dispensed drugs: Referring to drugs as "poisons" is no new word. In fact, it is ridiculous to accept any unlabeled drug because what goes into your body is a duty you own yourself.
