• W2020187287 abstract "A malpractice suit is a disagreeable experience. It may involve a younger and relatively inexperienced radiologist, because of his youth and his lack of experience, or it may involve an older radiologist because of his experience, and because he may have accumulated some funds which a lawyer and his client want to attach. The carrying of malpractice insurance is no guarantee against suits. In fact, it may be one of the incentives, since the plaintiff or the attorney may assume that “it does the doctor no harm and the insurance company can well afford to pay.” Every physician, however, should carry such insurance. He may be involved in a malpractice suit even in the treatment of a free hospital patient. The suit is entered against the physician and not against the hospital. The cause of a malpractice suit may be at least any one of the following: (1) One cause, and one definite liability, is carelessness or negligence. If the attending physician is careless or negligent and damage results to the patient, the jury and the Court will render a verdict against him. The radiologist is responsible for any negligence on the part of his assistants, his technicians, or anyone in his employ. Routine discipline, care, and attention to all possible details at all times will help to eliminate this cause. Negligence may involve a loose or lax high tension wire, which comes too close to the patient's body, resulting in an electric burn. The modern shock- proof equipment will usually exclude this danger, but when shock-proof equipment is not available great care must be observed. (2) A second cause is the omission of a filter, when the dosage is calculated on the basis of a filter, (a) This may be avoided in part by signal lights or a balance of the filter with the control switch, as provided for in some equipment. This prevents any current passing when the signal and the filter are not the same, (b) With older equipment having no safety device, one can divide the anode wire and attach a ring on each section which can be connected only by a double hook to which is attached a cord with an indicator leading to the proper filter. This demands detailed attention at each treatment. The filter indicator can be seen from the window. (c) The control stand may be connected so that it will ring a bell when no filter is present, or so that it will make circuit through a red light, (d) In my institute two people are required to check distance and filter before turning on the current. (e) Finally, it is my custom to have the current turned on for each x-ray treatment for only a minute, when the filter and all other details are checked a second time. (3) Damage may result from incompetency. This may involve excessive dosage in therapy or excessive exposure during fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy with resultant damage to the soft tissues has been the source of most malpractice suits brought against radiologists. This may be avoided by various methods fully described in the literature." @default.
