Alternative Healthcare in Europe

[By Anthony Robert Narushka; DC]

The first Polish Chiropractic Association [PCA] was recognized by the European Chiropractors’ Union (ECU) www.ecunion.eu and founded in June, 2008. The Polish flag is listed on the page of all members.

Ministry of Health

On July 1st 2008, Dr. Narushka and these Medical Executive-Post readers met with the Ministry of Health to discuss the legalization and regulation of Chiropractic, in Poland. Open discussion of how other European countries have formalized chiropractic health care into their national heath regulations was also discussed. We met with the Department Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego – from the Ministry of Health.

Assessment

Also, a very important message from Mr. Hans-Gert Pöttering’s [President of the European Parliament] supporting the European Chiropractors’ Union was presented along with the recognition of the new members, Poland and Hungary, to the association. The video can be downloaded from the ECU website -Download Page and it is found first on the downloadable link list. http://www.ecuconvention.eu/default.asp?pid=114

Although all members of the nascent PCA are encouraged to visit, read and subscribe to the Medical Executive-Post; some physicians and other domestic medical practitioners are not always enamored with chiropractors or other alternative healthcare providers; despite the Healthcare 2.0 initiative of the modern era.

“Loss of Chance” Liability

Judicial Court of Massachusetts

Staff Reporters

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts [JCM] recently ruled that doctors can be held liable for negligence that reduces a patient’s chance of survival, even if the patient’s prospect for recovery was already less than 50 percent.

“Loss of Chance”

The SJC recognized for the first time a legal doctrine known in medical malpractice cases as “loss of chance,”

Definition

LOC allows a patient whose odds of recovery are 50 percent or less to receive damages for any negligence that reduced those odds. The court also established a formula for juries to award damages proportionate to the reduced survival rate caused by the doctor’s negligence, according to the Boston Globe July 24, 2008.

Assessment

Some medical malpractice lawyers opine that the decision could help patients who previously had little chance of collecting damages from physicians.
