What Is Medical Malpractice — The Reasonable Doctor Standard
The legal standard for medical malpractice is the "reasonable doctor standard" — how an average doctor with reasonable skills, in the same specialty, in the same circumstances, would have acted. If the treating doctor deviated from this standard — it may constitute malpractice.
Not every bad medical outcome constitutes malpractice. Medicine involves risk and uncertainty — and sometimes things go wrong even when the doctor acted correctly. The question is not "was the outcome bad?" but rather "did the doctor act as a reasonable doctor would have acted?"
A medical expert opinion is the foundation of every malpractice claim. Adv. Liron Yitzhak Elmaliach works with medical experts in various specialties — internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, and more.
Examples of Medical Malpractice
Misdiagnosis: A serious illness (cancer, heart attack) was diagnosed too late due to negligent interpretation of test results, recommending the wrong tests, or ignoring symptoms. The delay caused harm that could have been prevented.
Surgical error: A technical mistake during surgery, damage to a nerve or blood vessel, operating on the wrong organ, or leaving a surgical instrument inside the body. Surgical errors cause serious harm and usually have clear evidence.
Failure to inform: The doctor has a duty to inform the patient of the risks of every procedure. If a full explanation was not given and the patient would have refused the procedure had they known — this is grounds for a claim. "Informed consent" is every patient's right.
Jerusalem Hospitals — Who Is Responsible
Jerusalem is a major medical center — Hadassah Ein Kerem, Hadassah Mount Scopus, Shaare Zedek, and Bikur Cholim are among the largest hospitals in Israel. Thousands of patients are treated in each of them every day.
A claim can be filed against the hospital itself (as employer), against the specific doctors, and against the HMOs that referred to the treatment. Each entity may bear liability — and sometimes all together.
Adv. Liron Yitzhak Elmaliach is familiar with the legal structure of Jerusalem's hospitals and their insurance mechanisms — and leverages this knowledge for the benefit of clients.
