Hospital Wanderer

Even doctors wearing medical apparel especially white scrubs can't deny the fact that there are cases that they can't control the death of an individual. In their humble hands, patients can live or die, and yet too many situations had shown them that living and dying is beyond their power and control.

From: The Hands Where Life and Death Lies

Doctors were given the full responsibility within their patients’ health. No wonder that when their patients’ health had improved, it is the doctor in charge who is claimed as responsible to it. However, when their patients die, the doctor will always be blamed. This entails the fact that when it comes to patient’s life, the physician will be held accountable at all times.

The truth is, in this world, there really exists good and bad doctors. Here in this post, I got some excerpt of the latest news about good doctors and bad physicians. Check this out:

BAD DOCTORS

Philadelphia Abortion Doctor Accused of Killing Babies With Scissors, Charged With 8 Murders

An abortion doctor in Philadelphia has been charged with eight murders, including seven babies who prosecutors say were born alive then killed with scissors. Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, and nine employees from his West Philadelphia Women's Medical Society were arrested Wednesday. He and his staff also are charged with killing a woman who was given a lethal dose of Demerol. Gosnell catered to minorities, immigrants and poor women, and made millions of dollars over 30 years performing illegal and late-term abortions in squalid and barbaric conditions, prosecutors said. "There were bags, and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," said Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams. "There were jars lining shelves with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."

Polish medics accused of killing patients and selling the corpses to undertakers

A court in Lodz was told last week that a number of ambulance drivers, with the full co-operation of some doctors, allegedly injected patients with the muscle relaxant Pavulon to hasten their deaths. The drivers would not even take patients to the geriatric ward, but whisk them straight to the undertakers. Andrzej Nowocien, a paramedic, is charged with the murder of four people while his colleague, Karol Banas, is charged with murdering one patient. Janusz Kuklinski, a doctor, faces 10 charges of manslaughter and Pawel Wasilewski, also a doctor, faces four charges of manslaughter. He is further accused of illegally supplying information on people's deaths on more than 200 occasions to undertakers. All have pleaded not guilty. Nowocien told the trial: "On one occasion we were to transport a severely ill patient from Lodz, in central Poland, to a nearby hospital in Glowno.”We figured there was little sense in travelling all the way to Glowno because the patient was about to die any minute anyway. So we headed straight for the undertakers instead, knowing the problem would solve itself on the way. We passed on the woman's corpse to the funeral home."
