Tratamiento insuficiente y excesivo
Tratamiento insuficiente y excesivo
Under and over treatment is dangerous for a patient and can cause emotional suffering, permanent physical damage, and even death. Some medical providers are under treating patients with pain resulting in severe suffering. Under treatment can be attributed to insufficient knowledge about the assessment of pain and pain management, failure to make pain relief a priority, concerns of patient addiction, and doctors’ fear of regulatory scrutiny of their prescribing practices.
Some medical providers are over treating their patients through unnecessary testing, too many procedures, and prescribing pharmaceuticals that may not be necessary exposing them to avoidable harm.
