My Grandfather died choking to death, because his lungs failed due to fast-acting oat cell lung cancer. His Doctor knew he had cancer in November, but failed to inform anyone, including my Grandfather. If we would’ve known in November, he may be alive today. Can our family sue the Doctor for negligence and actually get somewhere in Canada? Or does the government always win. Today I found out that… I don’t have first hand knowledge RE the subject but when I researched it I found what I suspected: socialized medicine is worthless to the patient and at best engenders an environment of mediocrity. We need to fight any semblance of said. I quote an ED physician from the US that worked in CA. : “Sixth, medical malpractice suits are almost unheard of even though malpractice is quite common. I witnessed one of my patients who got an ectopic pregnancy on each side of a supposed tubal cauterization. Another patient had a poorly repaired ankle fracture with life long pain. The richest surgeon in the province was near our small town because he offered to do all specialty cases – messing up ortho, then urology, etc. I helped him retire as I left by simple patient empowerment. But no one else cared – he saved the other docs money. ” Whiplash Settlements Tags: Ankle Fracture , Canada , Cell Lung Cancer , Choking To Death , Ectopic Pregnancy , Ed Physician , Hand Knowledge , Lung Cancer , Lungs , Medical Malpractice Suits , Medicine , Mediocrity , Money , Negligence , Oat Cell Lung Cancer , Patient Empowerment , Quot , Semblance This entry was posted on Thursday, September 9th, 2010 at 12:45 am and is filed under News and Info .
