The Physiological Basis of Medical Practice

چکیده
time, and though every intelligent mian knowvs that in all medical treatment there is an element of risk the plaintiff often thinks it vorth wvhile trying to convince the court that because there has been a mishap there must necessarily have been negligence. To rebut any such presumption is difficult, and often impossible. But though one has full sympathy wvith a patient wvho has met with further injury when in fact he was expecting a cure, yet it should not be forgotten that a verdict of negligence against a medical man, or any professional man for that matter, carries consequences reaching far beyond that particular case. In his forewvord to this book Lord Justice Denning thinks that this fact makes the courts more tender towards such a defendant. "They realise that a finding of negligence against a professional man is a serious matter for him. It is not so much the money, because he is often insured against it. It is the injury to his reputation which a finding of negligence involves." Tventy years ago Lord Justice Denning would have been unquestionably right, but there is ground for suspicion that the last few years have seen a change, and it is a change which no professional man can view with anything but alarmn.
