On A Criminal Trace of Crippling and Often Even Lethal False Diagnosis: Lege Artis Cz by Antonín Cuc in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Open Access Journal (OSMOAJ) in Lupine Publishers.
In 2010, the Czech Republic participated in the World Health
Organization WHO Research to determine the quality of medical
decision making in determining diagnosis and to determine an
adequate individual choice of patient treatment. The conclusions
were really frightening: the relative frequency of fatal medical
decision-making errors is 10%, with a statistical accuracy of
the tolerance estimate of +/- 2%, with a statistical reliability of
conclusions of about 95%. Approximately rewarding results are
found in all OECD countries - in all types of outpatient or inpatient
health services. In real terms, this means that approximately
every 10th accidental visit of the patient to the doctor will end up
with an additional health problem. For example, a late-diagnosis
of B-type jaundice, a medical prescription of an inappropriate
medication that contravenes the health of a particular patient, or
contraindicates the contraindication effects of other concurrent
medications, or a radiologist misinterprets an X-ray image-with
overlooked by emerging stomach cancer, overlooked severely fatal
osteoporosis-disturbed bone, a preventive standard examination of
the colonoscopy will occur with careless medical manipulation of
the colon perforation probe in a hitherto healthy patient. In general,
they are seriously threatened patients, sometimes even seriously
endangered patient lives.
