uncruspurous medical malpractice

NOMINATED TOPIC | April 20, 2013
Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.

uncruspurous medical malpractice

Does your question include a comparison of different health care approaches? (If no, your topic will still be considered.)

yes

If yes, explain the specific technologies, devices, drugs, or interventions you would like to see compared:

prostate biopsies and mammograms

What patients or group(s) of patients does your question apply to? (Please include specific details such as age range, gender, coexisting diagnoses, and indications for therapy.)

General public

Are there subgroups of patients that your question might apply to? (For example, an ethnic group, stage or severity of a disease.)
Describe the health-related benefits you are interested in. (For example, improvements in patient symptoms or problems from treatment or diagnosis.)

Doctors must be more sensitive to the patient rather than looking for money

Describe any health-related risks, side effects, or harms that you are concerned about.

I have verified that many doctors do not read test reports, do not keep properly their medical records and do not report test results to doctors who requested them. Who controls these shortcomings? What is the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force doing to prevent health damages due to these medical shortcomings? There are people who do not trust the American medical system and believe that there is a conspiracy against the public. Certainly the American Society of Urologists had conspired about prostate cancer to make more money with unnecessary prostate biopsies. Probably it is the same with unnecessary mammograms. There are people who believe that doctors refuse to prescribe medicines so the sick person becomes more ill and must go more times to see the doctor. Why doctors do not want that we read the Internet? Can we read medical books in public libraries? What does the AHRQ do to protect the public from unscrupulous medical procedures and treatments as well as false diagnosis in order to make more money?

Importance

Describe why this topic is important.

Health Care is calamitous in USA.

What specifically motivated you to ask this question?

I might need to make a Lawsuit for malpractice. My doctors are indifferent and cruel towards my medical problem as result of an eye cataract operation.
