Consider Malpractice as malicious practice. If someone on the surgical team intentionally burnt the patient, the surgical team was involved in malpractice. If the surgical team accidentally burnt the patient, the team was negligent. The severity of the burn will determine whether the surgical team's negligence was malicious or not. Note: Medicine is one of those rare fields where mistakes can have such serious ramifications that nearly any mistake is considered malicious neglect; the medical community is expected to exercise the highest levels of care at all times.
