The heated debate on preference in medical cases.
We have seen many cases that when we ask the person who lost a loved one what happened to your patient, they say they gave them the wrong shot or they got it too late. These cases have increased and many people are citing it without any medical information and word of mouth is spreading, which has created a lot of bad mentality in the society.

In these cases, they write in the theory according to which conditions the negligence of the doctor or nurse was diagnosed and determine the percentage of negligence.

Or the party protests and the vote is returned and reviewed by another committee. It is said there that Dr. Sabry was so illiterate that he could not recognize that he had made a mistake.

Think of ten or eleven experts sitting ear to ear; Is it possible for everyone to come to support the gentleman because he is our colleague? Does this mean that they are so damaging to the sanctity of the profession and professional respect? It doesn't happen at all.
He emphasized: When you come to the conclusion that, for example, the doctor or the hospital was wrong, these cases are mentioned without compliments either in the medical court or in the legal committees.
