The Medical Malpractice System Affecting Many People

by Paul Justice

It is fortunate for our society that the medical malpractice system we have in place exists. It is important to doctors and patients alike. Not only that but it provides a whole set of jobs for people as well.

Doctors need to have medical malpractice insurance. This insurance safeguards doctors when there is an accident and it is found that they are to blame. Often times this insurance is the only thing that allows doctors to continue to perform their trade. There are all sorts of reasons for accidents to occur during a medical procedure. When it is found to be a doctor's fault, usually it is because of something understandable. Doctors are only human and are prone to all of humanity's shortcomings. Everyone has days where they are distracted or tired. Unfortunately for doctors, or anyone who has people's lives in their hands, for them to slip up is a very serious problem. Doctors need to have a system set up to protect them for being only human.

Patients also rely on the protection that medical malpractice insurance provides them. Doctor's cannot be held solely, financially responsible in cases of medical malpractice. No one person can afford the repercussions of severe medical accidents. There are often more than just new medical expenses to be covered. Accidents usually result in long-term care needed. The adjustments that a patient needs to make can be life changing. For a single person to be expected to cover all of the expenses of another person is difficult. If a doctor were expected to cover all of the expenses of several patients life expenses they would quickly go bankrupt. Luckily there is medical malpractice insurance there to deal with the cost of extra medical procedures and to cover the bills of injured patients in sever cases.

Since there is a medical malpractice system set up for everyone to use, there are jobs that are available for people in this field. Not only are there whole insurance companies, but lawyers and other officials in place to help make the system work. Insurance companies employ many people. Also hospitals have specific people set up to only deal with malpractice paperwork. Also because it is a legal matter there are all sorts of lawyers who specialize in malpractice suits. There are also professors who have a specialty in malpractice suits that are there to teach these lawyers. Lawyers also have law journals as a resource, and a prominent subject is malpractice lawsuits. Another type of job that is touched by malpractice lawsuits is advertising. Lawyers and insurance companies need a way to promote themselves to other people. There are thousands of people in the United States alone that are employed because of the medical malpractice system we have in place.
