☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのBrain Surgery

Mr.Fukushima is a famous doctor of brain surgery.
He usually lives in Chiba Prefecture, but he has gone
to a hospital in Osaka City for operation once a month.
It is said that he has God's hands, but he was mistaken
in brain surgery that we couldn't believe, that is,
he resected a normal part, not a brain tumor.

The patient was a 30-year-old female who lived
in Osaka City. She was a teacher, and she died about 10
months later. He resected a normal part, and it was
an obvious mistake. But her brain tumor was very malignant,
and if the operation was successful, she would die sooner
or later, Mr.Fukushima said so.

Her family has accused Mr.Fukushima, and the restitution
is about 110 million yen. This trial has continued now.
Anyway “Even Homer sometimes nods”.

110 million yen is pretty cheap, he should consider himself lucky he doesn't practice in America.
Doctors are human; humans make mistakes. This is why we have a system in place to limit the number of mistakes. The question here is what system of errors led to this doctor making the mistake he did--what confirmation mechanism failed.

As a doctor, do you pay for medical malpractice insurance? How are the rates, compared to your peers overseas?
I read this article in a monthly medical magazine.
I was surprised about this article.
Of course he is a human being, and all human beings
could make mistakes.

He resected a normal part (a left side of the brain),
not a brain tumor (a right side).
The place of a brain tumor was deep, and so
the cause was lack of communication, examination
and analysis before the operation, that is,
he was too busy.

But this excuse could not be allowed.
I have joined in insurance for medical mistakes,
but the fee is usually cheaper than other foreign counties,
because a compensation is usually cheaper in Japan than
other advanced nations, for example the USA.

Japanese don't like trials, but we want settlement.
A compensation is usually within common sense.
