A medical malpractice, wrong drugs? May contraindications

What do you call the disease arising from MDs mistake?  Especially  when they charge skyhigh.  Is medical malpractice practiced here in PHL?

My partner was operated on the beginning of the week and, a defunct organ causing discomfort was removed and released in the middle of the week   She was discharged noontime, however by midnight she was brought back to the hospital due to worrisome palpitation which was later on found out to be due from a new drug that was very good for treating pain but was bad for the heart and very dangerous to some individuals

    1.  Why was the medication regime not reviewed for CI and interaction;

    2.  There are 3 Mds of various specialty who attended to wifey.  Who is to be responsible;

    3.   There was a matter of fact dismissal by an attending  main MD and even joked that the complications was caused by me.  Ha6

     4.  How can this be prevented?

     5.  Why us shouldering the treatment for their mistakes.   I thought Primus Non Cicerre?   Hippocrates (hypocrites) Code.   Where na 

The ER fees for procedure (why entire procedure, when she was prechecked prior to the operations.  and why so many charges for procedure and supplies. ?   Did they really use the supplies.

In the end the pf and hospital fees an were nearly half a million,  The pf was included in the bill officially paid, but paid directly to the specialist via check(no tax withheld)

It should have been done last July 10 but wifey chickened out and had chickened out due to fear of lack of recent lab findings.  So we went to a friend who is a GIT specialist who recommended at CT scan and then afterwards to another surgeon, who recommended that we proceed with the surgery  (confirming the November 2024 sonogram) because of matters that measured now at 0.8 mm (from 0.6 mm(

The surgery was performed by a veteran surgeon and former head of Phil laparascopic society,  chair of the hospital general surgery.  Who happened to be the classmate of former colleague at Jaycee, who was classmate of the H and W team of the guy (who  is the daughter of a lelong)

This post talked to the surgeon and thanked him and the Lord for having such an expert extend the life of wife.. And talked about our commonality and connection,   He is an editor, together with the husband of the sister of Jaycee colleague, of PPD (Philippine Pharmaceutical Direcotry.  Their publisher happened to be former student at MBA at a GSB

See how the procedure is considered less traumatic than open surgery.

My getting of cardio pulmonary clearance for an eye operations led to a new set of health problems:   high bp and high bs.  This was revealed in medical dx prior to issuance of clearance.  So for a week, high dosage of anti glycemia drugs.   The blood sugar went down to a respectable 5.5 mol/ml.   And then the HBP.

The diastolic was low,(at high)  however the systolic was high -  140 - 150 and had me worried.  I though my measuring device an omron aneroid sphygmo was having error.   Thus in the consultation yesterday, had my results double checked.  It was indeed high.    At high 140.    Thus the MD prescribed amledopine and today it  is 103/65.  Wow.  It should be as I do freehand exercises daily aside from biking
