Re: Things that puzzle me about PCa #7 in an endless series – malpractice

Paul, medical malpractice is interesting. It's not enough to violate best practices. although that's the first test, the second is proving that you had at least a 50% chance of better outcome if he had followed the standard. that's a really tough one to document. It's so much easier when the test is did he/she remove something he should not have - like the wrong kidney. Sounds like your care was terrible, just as was the case for my husband. My husband's outcome is widely metastatic cancer 4 years after being turned away from post surgical external beam radiation to the prostate bed by a radiologist who was anticipating distant metastases in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Of course I have to credit our belief in a substandard care system too.
