The tragedy of wrongful convictions in matters of health care affects far more than physicians. The plight of patients suddenly obliged to forgo the continuity of their medical care by the forcible removal of their long term physicians via the challenging of their license is illustrated in press and Internet releases entitled, 'Patient Mortality Linked to Judicial Errors.' Noted are certain fragile patients who, "vulnerable, sick, alone, frightened and suddenly deprived of their main lifeline (their physician), became acutely demoralized, refused referrals to other doctors or failed to bond with them, eventually giving up their will to live and neglecting their medical needs." One physician reported the untimely deaths of 7 patients, including one from suicide, the rapid decline of 8 Alzheimer's and the relapses of 12 psychiatric patients - whose medications had been delicately adjusted - leading to their serial hospitalizations." _________________ medico legal experts |
