Question:
Undertaking known reasonable risks in effort to achieve the patient’s objectives is not malpractice. Having a better view with the benefit of hindsight does not suggest the physicians should have done anything different at the time they did it. Physicians operate with imperfect knowledge as the ultimate outcomes of their procedures in every case, and they undertake reasonable risks in attempt to achieve objectives.

Hi, Earlier this year I discussed the disease of My father with all of you. I am from PAKISTAN. He was died in JULY. As I told earlier Dr. Ahmed Fawad Urologist and Dr Narjis Muzaffar Oncologist gave him five cycles of chemo which caused the kidney failure of my father. I tried very much to make complain about these two doctors but Unsuccessful. I still hope that someone from this forum helps me to pointout the email addresses of the related person.So I can bring this matter in their knowledge. Dr. Ahmed Fawad Urologist and Dr Narjis Muzaffar Oncologist cheated me and my father. They did not tell us the truth. Thanks Faraz

First of all, Faraz and those who may be unfamiliar w/ this case, my take on the situation was that you father probably knew what was going on and just did not tell you. You are under some misconception that they should have discussed and cleared everything w/ you but that is not the way it works. Your father was the patient and the doctors had no duty to discuss his situation w/ you as long as he was competent to make treatment decisions. Indeed, in the U.S. we have laws preventing healthcare providers from disclosing confidential info. I don’t know what you want of the people on this newsgroup – very few live in or have info on the medical profession in Pakistan. Have you even made the obvious step of contacting the Pakistan Medical I sympathze w/ your loss but you need to get over the obsession you have w/ his doctors. A good New Year’s resolution, perhaps.
