Ethical Dilemmas

[Aussie]

You are senior nurse in charge of the post operative care facility in a community hospital. The incidence of deaths following apparently successful surgery has been unusually high in the past two months. The physicians whose patients have died are under contract to Medicare which maintains tight budgetary control. The physicians have not ordered autopsies on any of the casualties although several of them shared similar unusual symptoms.

What are your ethical options, or does doctor know best?

Dr. Jayant Patel.......aka Dr. Death. Do the google.

You whistle blow.

It is obvious that this particular hospital needs to be reported to the relevant authority and an independent investigation must be done. Doctors don't always know what is best. What if the nurses at Bundaberg hospital thought that Jayant Patel knew best? Unnecessary mistakes from doctors have caused countless needless deaths. They need to be held accountable.
