As a capricious
and heterogeneous disease breast cancer may be difficult to diagnose and
despite being appropriately treated may relapse unexpectedly.
Governmental
pressure to reduce waiting for women with breast cancer may lead some patients
to suspect that very short delays may impact adversely on their prognosis.
In this supercharged atmosphere of anxiety, communicational skills of breast
surgeons may be constantly tested so that minor solecisms may translate into
major patient dissatisfaction.
With this
background it is unsurprising that more patients are turning to litigation in
an attempt to obtain satisfaction for what they perceive as medical negligence.
