Medical Malpractice

A Medical Practitioner owes his patients a reasonable degree of medical skills, care and behavior so malpractice can be conveniently divided into two broad types :

• Medical negligence 

The standard medical care given to the patient is considered to be inadequate. Incompetence or lack of medical skills or knowledge may be a contributing factor, so the doctor has to keep up to date with major developments in his own and in closely related fields, now often referred to as Continuing Professional Development 

• Professional misconduct 

Personal professional behavior falls below that which is expected of a doctor

Examples of professional misconduct include :

1. Practicing fraudulently
2. Being habitually drunk, being dependent on or a habitual user of narcotics or other drugs with similar effects.
3. Immoral conduct in the practice of the profession.
4. Permitting or aiding an unlicensed person to perform activities without a license 
5. Refusing a client or patient's service because of creed, color or national origin.
6. Practicing beyond the scope of the practice permitted by law.
7. Being convicted of a crime or being the subject of disciplinary action in another jurisdiction 
8.
