OBJECTIVE
To survey medical practitioners' experience with and attitudes toward litigation alleging medical malpractice.
DESIGN
A survey using a questionnaire.
SETTING
The Sudbury and Manitoulin Health District of Northern Ontario.
PARTICIPANTS
Medical practitioners in the area.
RESULTS
Physicians are sometimes negligent; malpractice is not simply created by entrepreneurial lawyers and patients with unrealistic expectations. At present malpractice is restrained by both the threat of civil litigation and the disciplinary committee of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons.
CONCLUSION
We must address the fear of malpractice suits if the North is to attract and retain the physicians it needs to provide modern standards of medical care.
目的
调查医生在医疗事故诉讼方面的经历及态度。
设计
采用问卷调查。
地点
安大略省北部的萨德伯里和曼尼托林健康区。
参与者
该地区的医生。
结果
医生有时存在疏忽；医疗事故并非仅仅由有商业头脑的律师和期望不切实际的患者造成。目前，医疗事故受到民事诉讼威胁和安大略省医师协会纪律委员会的双重限制。
结论
如果北部地区要吸引并留住提供现代医疗标准所需的医生，我们必须解决对医疗事故诉讼的恐惧问题。
