RE: Striking a balance between ethics and the Law and, empathy and compassion
I still believe that Nigerian doctors need to do more. They are too complacent and believe to be immune to all forms of litigation. Medical Law is appealing more and more to me each day, some people need to be taught a lesson. Recently mdcn has been doing a campaign through social media for all Nigerian doctors in her registrar to review the red book and be acquainted with the code of medical ethics in Nigeria. for me the campaign is not enough more time should be dedicated to it, it should even be a course of it's own and not something taught for the sake of completion.
If proper knowledge of medical law is brought to the forefront, there is every tendency that a lot of lawsuits will be in the offing.
It will be a very welcome development. It will also reduce the amount of quackery going on in the medical profession and put medical practitioners on their toes.
