Madam, - To err is human and doctors are human. The term "medical negligence" is pejorative. A large proportion of medico-legal cases involve clinical error, which should not be equated with negligence.
Unfortunately the reality is that the courts too often equate the two, to the detriment of justice and of medical practice in this country. - Yours, etc.,
