January 31. The prosecutor's office stood up for a convicted doctor
Main
The prosecutor's office asked to cancel the sentence of a hematologist Elena Misyurina , who was convicted for two years because of the death of the patient-and for which dozens of doctors and the Moscow City Hall stood up. The department said that the evidence collected "do not allow us to draw an unambiguous conclusion about its guilt." At the trial, the prosecutor asked her to be sentenced to a conditional time.
Misyurin was found guilty of "providing services that do not meet security requirements." This article implies the presence of intent, and several more cases against doctors have been aroused on it. Our medical editor Daria Sargsyan explains how it is dangerous for doctors and patients:
There are no definitions of “medical error” in Russian legislation, which makes the actions of the investigation and court decision even more unpredictable. <...> In such matters, it is not taken into account that doctors in most cases initially deal with sick people whose diseases can flow unpredictably, and treatment itself often pursues a threat to life and health - all these risks are fatal and far from always possible to control them, "doing everything right."
