[Solved] 10 Years Detail

 

For  this final assignment of the course, I wanted to incorporate a current  issue and trend taking place in the criminal just system: medical  misdiagnosis. Should medical misdiagnosis be a crime? Over the past 20  years, more and more criminal indictments have been taking place against  doctors charged with negligence that resulted in the death of  patients.  

Are doctors making mere mistakes or are they negligent or acting in a reckless manner resulting in criminal liability?  

Should  criminal charges be brought without willful misconduct? Should a doctor  lose their license?  Are there healthcare and/or business reasons that  affect such decisions (whether positively or negatively)?

Should murder charges be brought against a doctor for the misdiagnosis a patient? 

Is there a difference between being overworked and lack of attention (negligence)? 

What do you think? 

 Also, find a recent  case (within the past 5-10 years), detail the facts of the case and  include the outcome. Include your personal opinion, but also make sure  you support your response with legal reasoning, utilizing relevant case  law and the Model Penal Code.
