Avoiding Malpractice Tips

Frequently doctors who order lab tests will say to a patient, "If you don't hear from me, that means everything is fine." There is always a chance that your test result is not fine, and that your doctor - or someone in the doctor's office - simply forgot to phone you. If you haven't heard any news, call. For your own safety, request that your tests - especially Pap smears - be sent out to a certified lab or a hospital, which are generally more reliable than doctors' laboratories.

Give all the facts. When you withhold medical information, you handicap your doctor and jeopardize your own health. The patient whose leg had to be amputated failed to tell his podiatrist that he had a hereditary circulation disorder. The doctor never asked. Incomplete information can lead to all sorts of accidents, including fatal drug interactions. Even details that may seem trivial should be mentioned to your doctor.
