    Know everything in the light is impossible, be able to - especially. The shaky pyramid of civilization and a person is rescued by the division of labor.

    Part
    our well-being is entrusted by electrician uncle Vasya, he will come to enter and
    Capture wiring - what horror, the whole area will remain without light!
    Lists an accountant - a catastrophe, someone will be deprived of salary. Employee
    The registry office can ask not those documents, and then try, prove,
    that you are not a camel.

    All this we have seen more than once, for it does not cool
    Only one who does nothing. But people have the right to make a mistake, in
    whose hands is the most valuable - human life? Teacher's mistakes,
    Of course, unpleasant and, as the heroine said «Irony of Fate», whit
    Less destructive to the nestlications of medical. And yet the victims of errors
    teachers are alive among us, and clients of unlucky esklap often
    go to the best world. Nevertheless, medical errors are still
    Nobody canceled.

    Recently at the legislative level
    Active talk about what we need insurance system
    patients from medical errors. That is, the patient who has proven that his,
    Conditionally speaking, «treated wrong», Must be paid
    Awesome insurance. And doctors, in turn, making small
    Financial deductions to the insurance fund will be protected from exorbitant
    Financial claims of ex-patients. It remains only to clarify what
    that «Treat wrong».

    Medical errors and medical law
    W
    patients often develop their ideas about what is good
    And what is bad. This is explained by the fact that we gradually experienced
    consider medicine services. Patient who gave money to the polyclinic
    (directly or through the insurance office), expects for his money
    He will receive high-quality medical care and desirable -
    corresponding to its ideas.

    Well, the fact that the patient is each
    the day for five years chuckled, but did not apply to the doctor, not
    took prescribed tablets, and from hypertension was treated by people
    means on alcohol, in his opinion, absolutely no matter. If the doctor is ne
    rushed to change the therapy scheme, did not register a panacea and did not even prescribe
    Not a single miraculous procedure, one hundred to one: the patient will run
    complain. And not grandmothers near the entrance, but in the best traditions of Western
    Soutag in court. Unless, of course, does not realize that medical care is like
    The service does not obey consumer preferences.

    On the
    one cup weighing we have a patient who «Do not know Matchasts», not
    can read the diagnosis of Latin and raging because the appointed
    Treatment did not satisfy his expectations. To another - a doctor who lives
    Exceptionally professional ideas and correctness of their
    Action Checks with Medicine Industry.

    And the only way
    the level of the bowls of these scales - try to regulate these foundations (not
    Patient is re-educated?). For example, abroad went well
    strict treatment schemes when the doctor acts as a computer assigning
    Therapy strictly on prescribed documents. Such practice
    adhere to the United States from the moment they understood: annually in
    country due to errors in treating at least 7 thousand people
    dies, and how many worsen well-being deteriorates - do not count. If not
    The desire to go out on litigation from the victims and their
    relatives, you need to undertake something urgently.

    Domestic
    The medicine is still valid for diagnostic algorithms,
    Based on the laws of logic. In fact, in medical universities six years
    just do that form clinical thinking: unambiguous,
    clear, accurate, consistent and evidentiary approach to diagnosis and
    Treatment.

    Unfortunately, medicine is not an administrative code,
    Here too much deviations from the rules, like our vague, so
    And American hard.

    For example, the patient comes,
    suffering gastritis, with complaints of abdominal pain - the next
    exacerbation. Nothing else bothers nothing but unpleasant
    Dreams. The doctor prescribes diagnostics according to the main disease,
    That be bad gastritis. Unexpectedly with the patient an epileptoid
    the seizure, and only then it is started to examine on the subject of pathology
    Heat sides. Find a giant non-cultural tumor. W
    relatives of the patient hysteria, and they can be understood, but in the current
    Nobody is guilty of the situation - the doctor is not the Lord God.

    But is it possible in this case to make a speech about a medical error?


    From the point of view of medical law

    IN
    Roman law concept «Errors» correlated with medical activities and
    called Aquila's law. To medical errors attributed and
    inexperience, and negligence, and urban.

    Roman
    Empire ringed in the summer, and gradually the medical law has passed into the category
    Unwritten laws. A brilliant surgeon of pies, for example, believed that
    The doctor must have an inner need to publish his mistakes,
    To warn people from them less knowledgeable.

    IN USSR
    Medical mistakes attracted constant attention of bodies and institutions
    health care, only the party used the specificity
    Medicine, spinning in scratch «Doctors' cases» and turning people in
    White coats in political pawn.

    What says
    Modern Russian medical law? It provides for two types
    responsibility for medical errors: criminal and civil. In the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
    registered a dozen articles on which the actions of the doctor qualify as
    Non-appearance of medical care face obligated to render it,
    failure to provide information and causing death by negligence
    Due to the improper performance of their professional duties
    (Art. 109 C. 2). According to Art. 1064 Civil Code, Harm,
    caused personality, subject to compensation in full face, his
    caused. And if the moral harm is caused, then. 151 of the same GK
    RF Court will oblige a violator to pay monetary compensation.

    Medical errors and medical law
    But
    The term itself «Medical error» in Russian legal documents and
    NOT NOT. As, however, there is no strictly regulated
    responsibility for it - as you already understood, everything that does not fit into
    The above laws, at best, falls under other,
    The most common articles.

    And that is not all.. It turns out that there is no accurate definition of medical error not only in patients and lawyers. No doctors.

    Let's remember the recent sensational case with a newborn Sofia from the Krasnodar Territory,
    which had to amputate hand. She entered the clinic with a banal
    coup, and to put a dropper, a lot of minds do not need. However, the needle
    nevertheless struck the shoulder artery in which it was formed after that
    Trombus, overlapping the blood supply to the whole right hand.

    What is it -
    negligence? Inattention, inexperience? Mistake? Hardly. After all
    Nurses conduct such manipulations hundreds of times. And then, they say, were
    New Year's holidays, and therefore the girl did not remove the thrombus, but appointed
    conservative treatment… How do you order to operate the newborn
    child suffering from infectious disease in acute period?

    Occurred
    Tragic chance, the consequences of which by virtue of the state of the little
    Patients could be eliminated with great difficulties. When conducting
    Routine manipulation hand can flock in absolutely anyone, only
    the welder will suffer iron pipe, and when setting up intravenous
    catheter - alive man.

    In a word that understand under
    medical error at the intuitive level is understandable to everyone, and in reality
    Unknown to anyone. It is almost impossible to protect it from it, like
    It is impossible to insure from that I do not know what.

    The only thing that
    can advise - do not run diseases, do not pull on a visit to
    Dr., tell him about everything that bothers, and perform
    Prescriptions. Pass preventive inspections, do not trust
    Charlatans and advertising, do not engage in self-medication, and then cope with
    There will be much easier.

    Remember: domestic laws
    imperfect, and be it better in the world, could not protect us
    from complications and problems, and no compensation for health will be returned.
    It would be good that people who decide to devote themselves to medicine
    to the choice of profession is serious and consciously.
