A study of 276 medicolegal cases disclosed the number in various ophthalmic subspecialties. The medical reasons for filing these claims were usually based upon omission or commission of acts fundamental to good basic ophthalmology, not the omission of sophisticated procedures. Among the lesions were that physicians should plan for the care of emergencies, use few types of drugs, order roentgenograms if suspicions arise, use consultants, stay well within one's level of competence, and document everything.
一项对276起法医学案例的研究揭示了各个眼科亚专业中的案例数量。提出这些索赔的医学原因通常基于基本眼科医疗中关键行为的疏忽或失误,而非复杂程序的遗漏。这些失误包括医生应制定紧急情况护理计划、减少用药种类、如有怀疑应安排X线检查、寻求会诊、保持在自身能力范围内,并记录所有情况。
