Abstract: Hong Kong's public health has always been regarded as an excellent social programme providing quality service and meeting the basic needs of the general public at a heavily subsidized rate. However, medical malpractice seems to be getting more common in Hong Kong, and news reporting of medical malpractice is becoming more frequent too. This has prompted medical complaints concerning a wide range of medical problems, and a wider debate on the quality of Hong Kong's healthcare system. As such, the purpose of this study was to explore and understand the nature of medical malpractice in Hong Kong, and find out what forms of harm are caused to the patients and society. Thus, this study set out to identify what medical malpractice really means in Hong Kong through the eyes of different medical professionals. In total, five medical professionals participated in individual interviews in an effort to give their own opinions on the understandings, perceptions and expectation of the medical system. The findings demonstrated that all the interviewees in this study failed to interpret the nature of medical malpractice, and most of them tended to underestimate the harms caused to people and society. Furthermore, these studies have shown the techniques of neutralization involved in medical malpractice from a neutralization-based cultural criminology perspective. Instead of making doctors accountable, the interviewees tended to shift the blame to the hospital rather than doctors. This might be because our society tends to put high values on group norms over legal norms while failing to acknowledge the harm associated with society.

Download or read book Implications of Cultural Values on Substitute Decision making and Medical Negligence in Hong Kong written by Clara Wing Kar Wong and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores the implications of cultural values on substitute decision-making and medical negligence in Hong Kong. It argues that substitute decisions should be made in accordance with patients' wishes or best interests, unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. The thesis suggests that cultural values may impinge on medical negligence suits brought by third parties. It anticipates issues that may arise if a similar case as Hobbs v. Robertson1 was to come before the Hong Kong courts. The thesis argues that it may be justifiable to limit competent patients' right to waive medical negligence.1(2001), [2001] B.C.J.

Download or read book Hong Kong s Court of Final Appeal written by Simon N. M. Young and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since it was established on 1 July 1997, Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal has developed a distinctive body of new law and doctrine with the help of eminent foreign common law judges. Under the leadership of Chief Justice Andrew Li, it has also remained independent under Chinese sovereignty and become a model for other Asian final courts working to maintain the rule of law, judicial independence and professionalism in challenging political environments. In this book, leading practitioners, jurists and academics examine the Court's history, operation and jurisprudence, and provide a comparative analysis with European courts and China's other autonomous final court in Macau. It also makes use of extensive empirical data compiled from the jurisprudence to illuminate the Court's decision-making processes and identify the relative impacts of the foreign and local judges.
