Periodicity:April - June'2013

Abstract

Complications are inevitable in all treatment procedures. No treatment can be performed without the risk of complications. Unfortunately, most of the time, the complications and drawbacks of procedures are mistaken for negligence. This situation is fueled by the lack of documentation and consent in private practice. Therefore, it is essential to document all your procedures. This simple exercise will help you in the long run. When a medico-legal situation arises, you will be able to defend yourself easily. To maintain a record, you can have the forms printed as a book with translations into regional languages. The forms signed by the patient should be kept as a record.
