In the last post of my blog I talked about medical malpractice and now I found two similar cases that occurred a few months ago. They are related to medical malpractice in which they applied Article 1101 of the Civil Code mention in the other post.
The Madrid Health Service (SERMAS) was sentenced to pay 276.976 euros to two patients by delays in the diagnosis of breast cancer and bone tumor.
SERMAS issued a resolution that recognize their responsibility and agrees to compensate Maria with 205.600 euros provided by the poor health care: the patient was delayed for 16 months in a public hospital in the diagnosis of a bone tumor.
Maria went to the Prince of Asturias Hospital for a TAC in january 2012 in which an injury was observed “on the plaque that was unnoticed unjustifiably“ according to the Patient Advocate. The desease was diagnosed in february 2013, when Maria attended the Clinical Hospital San Carlos. Alvaro Sardinero, Patient Advocate, believes there have been increasing in these incidents in recent years. “Many negligence cases occur due to lack of time and the results would be different if they had more time to see well the TAC test“.
The High Court of justice of Madrid also condemned SERMAS with 71.376 euros to compensate a patient for the delay in breast cancer detect. The patient, Conchi, made in 2009 an ultrasound and a mammography. Doctors said that everything was normal, but a year later she was diagnosed a malignant tumor. The court recognized in the judgment that the delay in diagnosis aggravated the tumor.
The say that “This time that they take away from the patients can end with their lives“.
