The Investigators, LLC Hawaii (A Hawaii Private Investigation Agency)

1.  Failure to diagnose a condition or to diagnose a condition in time to treat it properly;

2.  Failure to observe and monitor the patient; 

3.  Failure to perform surgery properly, and

4.  Failure to treat a condition properly

Inadequate care may be the result of iatrogenic problems, those caused by the physician in the course of his or her treatment of the patient.

Recently, the Institute of Medicine, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, reported that more Americans die from medical mistakes than from breast cancer, highway accidents or AIDS.  Medical mistakes kill as many as 98,000 hospitalized Americans a year. The problem is caused less by recklessness on the part of doctors or nurses than by basic flaws in the health system.  Doctor's poor handwriting too often leaves pharmacists puzzled.  Too many drug names sound alike.  Medical knowledge grows so rapidly it is difficult to keep up with new treatments or dangers.  Medical devices change from year to year.  And most health professionals do not have their competence tested regularly.  (As reported by the Honolulu Advertiser, Advertiser News Services, November 1999.)

Contrary to the expectation and attitudes of Americans, medicine is an inexact science.  Physicians, hospital personnel, and medical technicians all make mistakes.

Malpractice suits are not just the result of greedy and contentious patients.

Medical Malpractice Defenses:      

A patient's consent to the doctor's treatment may prevent the doctor from being liable for an intentional tort.

Note However:  A patient's mistake as to the essential nature or consequences of the invasion (treatment) of his or her person or property is treated as a mistake of fact and voids any consent to such invasion.

It is on this very basis that a patient's consent to surgery or other medical treatment is sometimes held ineffective, thereby exposing the doctor to liability for battery.

Where the patient asserts that he or she consented to the surgical procedure performed, but that he or she had not been adequately informed of the risks and benefits of the procedure, the claim is generally treated as one for negligence rather than an intentional tort (battery).

Doctors have a duty to disclose relevant information about benefits and risks inherent in proposed treatment, alternatives to that treatment, and the likely results if the patient remains untreated.

There are only two exceptions to the doctor's duty of disclosure that are recognized:  Emergencies and Therapeutic privilege.

Caveat:  Most Courts hold the patient responsible to show that if properly informed neither  he nor a reasonable person in similar circumstances would have undergone the procedure.
