The daughter is in the 3rd grade of primary school and in the preventive eye examination at school by a nurse, it turned out that she had poor vision in her left eye. I went to the ophthalmologist (of course, for a paid visit, because there was no other option in the clinic). The ophthalmologist asked why are we so late? The child never reported any vision problems, we had no idea he could see worse. The ophthalmologist was surprised that the eyesight was never examined on any of the balance sheets of a 2,4,6-year-old child. In the he alth booklet, the section regarding eyesight was omitted, it is not completed. Earlier, I did not pay attention to it. I understand that this is the negligence of the doctor who does something like a piss, faster, because the next ones are waiting. Please tell me if I have any chance or opportunity to complain about a doctor and where. what are the chances of recovering at least the cost of the child's treatment? Perhaps, if we had known about it earlier, the disadvantage could be compensated for so far.
You can submit a complaint about medical activities to the District Medical Chamber to which each doctor is assigned. There is a medical self-government in the District Medical Chamber. The task of the doctors' self-government is to establish the principles of medical ethics and to ensure that they are observed, and to exercise care over the proper and diligent performance of the medical profession. The principles of medical ethics result from general ethical standards. They oblige the doctor to respect human rights and to care for the dignity of the medical profession.Any conduct of a doctor that undermines trust in the profession is a violation of the dignity of the profession.
