Abstract
A Medical Error: To Disclose or Not To Disclose
Medical errors are the mistakes which can occur unintentionally by Health Care Providers (HCPs) in health care setting. In health care setting, HCPs agree to disclose medical errors but actually medical errors are not disclosed because HCPs are afraid of losing patient trust and law suits. This practice is unethical. Partial disclosure of medical errors may increase the likelihood of malpractice. The consequences of medical errors include minor complications to major effects even death can occur due to medical errors.
