what is the punishment/s if a physician commit a medical malpractice?

Question

i mean if a physician commits.....not commit

Answer 1

It depends on what it is! Usually nothing as they bury most of their victims!

In order to sue an MD in my state, you must go before a board..........which CONTAINS MAINLY MD"S!!!

Some may get a slap on the wrist by the Medical Ethics Committee!

I have often wondered how an MD can cut off the wrong leg or remove the only healthy kidney! One would think they would not be that stupid!

Answer 2

depending on the nature and degree of the malpractice, from a record in their state's medical board file to monetary fines to criminal prosecution.
