How to get sued
How to get your hospital emergency department sued for malpractice:
- After people have been seen by the triage nurse (and triaged less than "emergency"), have them seen by a nurse
- Have the nurse take a detailed history, record it in a computer system but not actually do anything
- Have them seen by a doctor who does not have access to (or chooses to ignore) the computer system, takes his own history and diagnoses/prescribes accordingly
Yes, this is what at least one tertiary hospital in Brisbane does on a routine basis.
