| Medical Malpractice in LASIK Surgery |
| |
| LASIK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) surgery is a relatively new procedure that reshapes a patient's cornea in an effort to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is quick, generally taking around 15 minutes to complete. During this time, the physician cuts a flap on the front of the eye and moves it aside in order to access the cornea. He or she then reshapes the cornea with a laser in order to correct the vision problem.More... |

| Physician/patient relationship |
| |
| Every doctor has a duty to reasonably care for and treat his or her patient, and a violation of that duty is medical malpractice. The core of the physician's duty comes from the existence of a physician/patient relationship, without which a claim of malpractice cannot be made despite the fact that a patient has suffered an injury. The law recognizes that a very special relationship exists between a doctor and his patient, creating the physician's duty of trust and fidelity to all those he treats. The law also recognizes that a patient who has been injured by a doctor while in this special relationship may be able to recover for his injuries.More... |
