You have to take care of the patients. Doctors need to understand how difficult it is to live with the disease and see that everyone is healthy and in better condition. There have been thousands of cases in the US alone where a hospital, doctor, or health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, has caused a patient to be injured.

To be considered medical malpractice under the law, the complaint must have the following characteristics:
• A Violation of Standard of Care – The law recognizes that there are certain medical standards that are recognized by the profession as acceptable medical treatment by reasonably prudent health care professionals in like or similar circumstances. This is known as the standard of care. A patient has the right to expect healthcare professionals to provide care that is consistent with these standards. If it is determined that the standard of care has not been met, then negligence can be established.
•The injury was caused by negligence: For a medical malpractice claim to be valid, it is not enough that a health professional simply violated the standard of care. The patient must also prove that he suffered an injury that would not have occurred in the absence of negligence. An unfavorable result by itself is not bad practice. The patient must prove that negligence caused the injury. If there is injury without negligence or negligence that did not cause injury, there is no case.
•The injury resulted in significant damages: Medical malpractice laws are extremely expensive to litigate, often requiring the testimony of numerous medical experts and countless hours of affidavit. For a case to be viable, the patient must show that significant damages resulted from an injury received due to medical negligence. If the damages are small, the cost of pursuing the case may be greater than the eventual recovery. To file a medical malpractice claim, the patient must show that the injury resulted in disability, loss of income, unusual pain, suffering and hardship, or significant past and future medical bills.

In addition to all the lawsuits and bills, the emotional trauma caused by a medical malpractice lawsuit for both the doctor and the patient is unimaginable. Let a patient know that the person to whom he entrusted his most precious thing, his life and his health, did something wrong and put his life in danger. If the patient dies due to medical malpractice, then the grievance that their family has to go through knowing that their loved one would have been alive were it not for the incompetence or carelessness of the doctors, is more than terrible. For the doctor or health professional, being aware that the purpose to which they dedicated their life, cost the health of one of their patients or, worse still, their life.
