When you do not check what is written in your medical records before agreeing to a surgery or procedure, and you are subjected to an unneeded surgery you have fallen victim to your own "Patient Mal Practice"
.
It is not illegal for a doctor to write retinoschisis or any diagnosis to the records and not tell you; if you are harmed because of that, you cannot sue him. It’s "Patient Mal Practice"
When you don't look for a second opinion, it is "Patient Mal Practice"
Retinoschisis is the poster boy
When you look for a second opinion without taking your medical records with you and you look for an opinion on what were told (retinal detachment) instead of providing what it was written (retinoschisis-detachment) that is "Patient Mal Practice"
if retinoschisis is written to the medical records and you don't know it how do you stop another doctor from confusing it with a retinal detachment?
