No doctor worth his salt would like his patient not to recover from their illness. Given the complexities of the medical science it would be fair to state that even where genuine mistakes of little consequence are made by any doctor the patient is not even conscious of it. Cases like that of Dr. Harold Shipman causing willful harm are thankfully by far and few. Between the two positions lies a grey area where doctors fall short of the high standard of service expected to be given by them.
Many a times the conscience of a doctor pricks him no end when he is reminded of the Hippocratic Oath and its willful defiling whether by negligence, omission or delay in treatment. Maybe he missed out on an important question regarding crucial information prior to surgery or maybe it might be just bad luck on part of the patient due to which nothing would make not difference.

Maybe he missed out on an important question regarding crucial information prior to surgery or maybe it might be just bad luck on part of the patient due to which nothing would make not difference. Doctors are also human beings and their personal stress might make a difference to their performance from time to time. However in the medical profession any mistake is more disastrous than in any other field such as worker, baker or tailor. The implications for a patient whose treatment has gone wrong are so far reaching in their lives and of their families that it becomes very hard to accept that anything would just have gone wrong in their case. What is the way out in such cases? Obviously, the patient would first of all have discussions with his kith and kin as well as friends and well wishers. Most of the patients would be satisfied with just a clarification and apology and treat the matter as closed. However for professionals, such a doctors, even this is too much. Their professional pride and an inability to accept wrongdoing prevents them from such swift closure of the matter and keep ducking the allegations by way of evasion of the moment of truth.
Medical negligence compensation is the often taken route to cut down evasive, unrepentant, and defensive doctors to size, even though this route is costly, slow and time consuming. The court case proceedings could take as long as 10 years incurring great legal costs and expenses. Besides medical negligence cases are very difficult to win because a plaintiff must irrefutably prove that the doctor willfully committed negligence as per the medical standards and parameters required to be adhered to. Court of law are loath to infringe the honor of doctors and sidestep a flood of such claims from inundating the courts.
Medical negligence compensation is the only meaningful relief in cases of death or permanent injury afflicting the bread earner of a needy family. Injuries might require costly after care for years on end.
