Medical malpractice refers to the negligence of medical staff in diagnosis, treatment and nursing, which directly leads to the death, disability, tissue and organ damage and dysfunction of patients. However, medical disputes usually refer to incidents in which both doctors and patients have objections to the diagnosis, treatment and nursing results and their causes, and the parties propose to pursue responsibility or economic compensation, which can only be resolved through administrative or legal mediation and adjudication.
Myth 2: When a patient goes to the hospital, he goes to the "safe".
Medical disputes caused by new technologies, new equipment and new therapies have gradually emerged. While people enjoy modern civilization, they also increase the risk of destruction. No clever doctor can cure all diseases. Just because a patient is in the hospital doesn't mean he is in the "safe".
Myth 3: Economic compensation equals economic compensation.
Among the numerous medical disputes, some have already constituted medical malpractice. According to the State Council's "Measures for Handling Medical Accidents" and the detailed rules for implementation formulated by various localities, those who are identified as medical accidents will be given one-time economic compensation.
