what medical practitioners that never or very rarely make mistakes or kill their patients, I'm talking about

Question

doctors.

Answer 1

Pathology patients are already dead. Radiologists dont normally see patients (maybe if they xrayed someone enough they could kill them). Anesthesiologists rarely screw things up enough to kill someone. If a Family Medicine doc saw an emergency, he would send them to the ER, so they rarely have the opportunity to kill anyone. Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, and Dentists dont usually kill anybody.

Answer 2

Well every single specialty has the potential for mistakes. The outcome of those mistakes will vary drastically. And yes, contrary to the other answers a dermatologist may have an emergency, granted they are very rare. (e.g. Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis). All specialists have excellent practitioners and some that are less so. Using the word Kill makes it sound intentional!!! Now, a Medical examiner that only deals with autopsies would never kill their patient as they are already dead.

Answer 3

I really and truly hope that you are not a doctor, or at least that English is not your first language. The question is worded so poorly as to be unintelligible. It's not even a sentence.

The fact is that ALL doctors make mistakes, but very rarely are those mistakes fatal. We are not perfect. We try hard to be, and the public expects us to be, but we are not. Part of being a doctor is knowing what to do if a mistake is made (honesty with the patient is always the best policy).

Those that make frequent or deadly mistakes can be cited by the state medical board or hospital medical executive board, and be made to limit their practice or get more education.

Answer 4

Well, dermatology is one of those things that rarely causes fatalities. You may WANT to die of a bad case of acne, but nature rarely obliges.

But truthfully, most doctors and most professions don't kill their patients. Even if you are talking oncology, the treatment of cancer, and you are talking low-survivability cancers, it isn't the doctor that causes the deaths. The fact that cancer isn't a 100% death sentence is due to oncologists.

Answer 5

TychaBrahe is right. But it's a difficult field to get into if you're looking for a specialty. The reason is because it's hightly desired. You have regular hours and no emergencies. So if you want to try, you need really good grades.
