when a doctor knows his patient expired due to wrong medicine given by another doc why not give in written?

Question

would like to know when a doctor is 100% sure that his patient died because of the negligence of the other doctor then why cant the doctor give it in written to the family members? how does a layman go about it? doesent the family suffer due to all this? financially, mentally and socially? one cant even claim any insurance! it being an error on the doctor's part, it should come under accidental death or not? iam suffering a lot due to this and have two daughters whose education is stopped due to the sudden death of my husband who was a V P of a software co. Due to his designation, they too have refused to give me any k ind of compensation though he was on official tour when this error took place. if i could have it written from the doctor, i could have claimed for his accidental policies as well as had a relief in terms of home loan too. i have run from one doctor to another to get the error written, just an opinion would also do, but all agreed to the error but noone wrote it.

Answer 1

Answer is very simple, when that very doctor will be in similar case the other Doctor will save him; There is a unwritten contact between doctors.

Answer 2

Sounds like you need a good lawyer. They can get "expert witnesses" that can prove the negligence of the doctor. Also, if you win, the lawyer will get a percentage of the settlement. Some also say that if you don't win, there is no fee due to them.

Answer 3

I am sorry to hear of your loss, according to several research studies in the last decade, a total of 225,000 Americans per year have died as a result of their medical treatments, amazing figures.

It takes strong determined people to take these sort of cases to court to get the medical professsion to start cleaning up their own back yard.

I suggest you find yourself a good lawyer and take it as far as you can. Good luck
