Medical Failures

Regardless of the variety of human lives, most people think that they have knowledge and control over their own bodies. This is a perfectly reasonable assumption, as for the most part we do have an intuition about ourselves given to us by nature. Though I do not know the precise cartilage structure of my little finger, I *know* that finger more than anyone else ever could. If we are injured or in pain, however this knowledge and power over our own flesh is compromised. Our natural intuition fails us. Something is wrong, and we do not know what, nor can we grasp the steps required to feel well again.

In our modern society, medical personnel have the knowledge and mission to intercede at this point and act as the agent of the ill. It is their prime duty, even if it is not possible to cure, to at least restore that feeling of power and control over the patient's own physical avatar. Trust in the caregiver is essential, however, and Hospital negligence betrays that trust. Doctors need to acknowledge when they have been in error, and work with the patient to reestablish the patient's trust in the medical profession otherwise compensation claims will continue to dominate society.
