If a doctor misdiagnoses you against your information and almost kills you with medication, should they be charged as though they assaulted or attempted to take your life?

Doctors are known for going against the patient's intuition and prescribing the wrong medication for the wrong illness. Many people have been hospitalized, disabled or even killed because of misdiagnosis. Part of the reason why malpractice is so high is because of the large frequency of these events. Should doctors be charged as though they attempted to kill or assault a patient if they do not listen to them correctly, and misdiagnose their illness leading to hospitalization, disablement or death?


















On the other hand there are some very ignorant "Doctors" who will ignore anything you say because they have this stupid idea that they know everything and will just give you some pills to get rid of you where you may be in need of hospital treatment.In that case I would sue that pants of that Doctor,even more so if a loved one was involved.I would not rest until that person was brought to book.
We should also keep in mind that insurance companies have designed our medical system around life-saving treatments rather than preventative medicine. Often drugs are prescribed because they can mask your illness for a long time until begins to kills you. Then, surgery is used to perform a life-saving procedure.

This insures the highest profit yielding situation for the insurance companies. Doctors, especially in hospitals, are told when and why they can perform procedures based on statistics provided by insurance companies. If you go to them with vague symptoms, they will usually tell you to wait until it gets worse because insurance companies don't want to back up doctors who charge too much money on insurance accounts. Insurance companies pay a percentage of patient's procedures and lose money every time a patient receives healthcare. This is why they are so hard on doctors in these vague situations. This situation is most evident in cancer patients who have been victims of this situation in countless cases leading to disability and often death.
I blame the doctors for their participation in this situation because they swore an oath to help patients. I gave the same oath myself. If a doctor goes against your information it is because he is looking out for his own financial situation and should be charged severely with a crime and labeled as a criminal. Its amazing to me that if you assault someone on the street you are a criminal but if a doctor goes against your information and hurts you with medication they are not. I think we should change that.
Be serious.
