Abstract

Medical negligence in healthcare settings is an infidelity to the profession, and a sin towards human lives. Often used as a matter of excuse, blame game, irrational mistake, and frustration with stressful environments, it is overlooked and swept under the carpet. However, acknowledging the ethical values of the profession, sensitizing healthcare professionals to implement best practices, and reporting events to prevent harm in future, is certainly imperative. This paper shares an overview of medical negligence under an analysis of different biomedical ethical theories and shares relatable recommendations for future implications in healthcare practice.
