Hospitals and doctors are not infallible. They make mistakes like anyone else and like any other organization, and unfortunately sometimes those mistakes are very costly in terms of peoples lives and health.

The recent case of the sick kid whose mother is accused of abuse that led to the violent protests in Jerusalem was a possible example of this. Nobody really knew what happened. We were not criticizing the protests because we think the hospital did everything correctly and made no mistakes in the administration of care. Perhaps they did. The criticism was regarding the reaction of the segment of haredi society - resorting to violent protests as the only way to solve the problem. That was unacceptable. if the hospital made a mistake, if they treated the kid incorrectly, if they misdiagnosed, if whatever, sue the hospital, take it up with the medical board in israel, etc.

Here is another example of a doctor, also in Hadassah Hospital, that was caught in malpractice. he performed a surgery without consent. The surgery caused damage to the patient. The doctor then forged a form of consent in order to cover himself. Instead of inciting riots, they sued the doctor and hospital and were just awarded 5 million shekels.

Doctors make mistakes, and try to cover them up. Hospitals do as well. There are ways of dealing with these situations, if you think that is the case, without resorting to primitive and barbaric behavior.
