Due to the increasing incidence of medical errors and the increasing number of lawsuits filed in Slovenian courts in recent years against doctors at the Ljubljana Urgent Care Centre, I demand the establishment of an independent medical review commission at national level to review the work of traumatologists or doctors at the KCLJ Urgent Care Centre for at least the period 2008 - 2012.
The situation that has prevailed recently is unsustainable, mainly because the Medical Chamber has not been doing its job as it should for a long time. The situation of poor, negligent, unprofessional work is dominated by the "syndrome of (hypocritical) guild collegiality", which is the main culprit in the fact that doctors who do a bad job cannot (or rather: do not want to) prove their guilt. There are as many examples of this as you want.
Part of what protects the backs of these irresponsible and negligent doctors is the healthcare system itself in today's already crumbling banana republic that we call Slovenia. This system turns personal professional mistakes and poor work by doctors into 'systemic failures of healthcare' and thus absolves them of responsibility. The role of an at least partly corrupt judiciary is not negligible, which, with its slow procedures and incompetence, only fuels the indifference of some of the perpetrators from the medical ranks.
Whatever the difficulties that would arise from the formation of such an independent medical commission at national level, I believe that there are also positivists in the health sector, people who can think with their heads and who would like to participate, because they, too, do not like what has been happening in our country in recent years.
So once again: establish/form a medical commission as soon as possible with sufficient powers to put order not only in the KCLJ Emergency Room but also everywhere else where it is needed. The last minutes are ticking!
The formation of such a commission requires accountability to the victims who have suffered medical errors that have scarred their lives as well as the lives of their immediate family.
