According to the survey of almost 3,000 doctors which affected the monitoring and incompetent doctors is not common.  Thirty-six percent of the poll said respondents, that they do not feel obliged by professional commitment impaired or incompetent doctors report.  It also seemed that doctors with more experience of 20 years or more, not so often a responsibility, to feel report colleagues practitioners were.

Catherine DesRoches, lead author of the study, was quoted, "self-regulation is the main way protect patients from harm and make sure that affected and incompetent doctors get help they need."

If it to explain why doctors says authorized other doctors, not the feeling, DesRoches, "it is possible that a cultural issue here." "It is a topic, that does not handle may be back, were when they were in medical school, so that they do not know, like to handle it."

What is still frightening about this study, that the question of researchers was not necessarily hypothetical.  Researchers found that in the last three years, 17 percent of those polled affected direct knowledge of one or had incompetent colleagues.

The results of this survey give reason more why we lawyers for the protection of patients with misconduct need claims.
