Contributory negligence #2 answ: Actually, there is no negligence or malpractice on the part of the doctor if the patient fails to take medication as instructed. All the doctor can do is prescribe the medication and advise the patient to take it and if that is documented in the medical chart, but the patient fails to take it, then the negligence is on the part of the patient and no responsibility for how sick they become is the fault of the doctor.

When does malpractice become fraud?
Malpractice becomes fraud when a healthcare provider intentionally misrepresents or conceals information to deceive patients or insurers, resulting in financial or personal harm. While malpractice typically involves negligence or failure to meet a standard of care, fraud requires a willful intent to deceive. For example, if a provider falsifies medical records or billing to gain unjust financial benefits, this constitutes fraud in addition to malpractice. Ultimately, the key distinction lies in the intention behind the wrongful act.

How long does a person have to file a lawsuit for medical malpractice?
This varies state to state so the laws of the state where it happened govern. However, in general it is two years after the malpractice occurs, unless the symptoms of the malpractice could not have been known at the time it did happen. Malpractice is a tort and normally the statute of limitations is 2 years after the commission of the act, but medical malpractice is different. This is because in some cases the injury caused by the malpractice does not become apparent till much later and sometimes even after the time limit has expired. For example if in childbirth some injury is done to the brain of the baby, the effects might not show themselves till years later when a child normally begins to develop and more complex cognitive functions are expected. Since all children develop at different rates, it might be impossible to know that a failure of some development was caused by malpractice that had been committed at the birth. It would be unjust to prevent someone from suing for damages caused by an act of malpractice because of the lapse of time, when it was impossible to realize during that time that there had even been any malpractice. This is why many states start the usual 2 year time period when it becomes reasonably apparent that malpractice had occurred earlier, not when the malpractice actually occurred.
