The medical profession has its own set of ethical guidelines and code of ethics. Doctors' negligence, on the other hand, must be decided by judges who are not medically trained. Accidents, burns, assaults, suspected suicide or homicide, poisoning, road traffic accidents, rape, drowning, and other medical-legal incidents must all be reported. The border between the three categories of negligence, lata culpa (extreme neglect), levis culpa (ordinary neglect), and levissima culpa (slight neglect), is frequently blurred. In healthcare, the concept- you learn from your mistakes- is undervalued. Preventing medico-legal concerns is the best way to deal with them. Join this live Medflix Q&A event to get answers to all of your questions about medico-legal difficulties in clinical practise.

Medicolegal issues in your practice

Medical professionals are increasingly becoming subject to legal actions arising out of the growing demand to make medical treatment more accountable in India. Patients in the country are becoming increasingly conscious of their rights as consumers. One cannot predict with certainty an outcome of cases many a time. Therefore, it is critical for medical practitioners to keep up to speed on the legalities involved pertaining to patient care. Dr. AL Meenakshi Sundaram, Professor of Anaesthesiology & Dean, Government Medical College, Tamil Nadu, is joining us LIVE on Medflix to educate us about the various medico-legal aspects so that we may all have a better grasp of the situation.
