[UjMoldovia]

The failure to meet a standard of care or standard of conduct that is recognized by a profession reaches the level of malpractice when a client or patient is injured or damaged because of error.

NOW...if anybody whatches the movie ''death of mr.lazarescu'' they everybody will understand why my mother died also...and many others too. this is the sanitar and medicine in romania.

[gigihentz1]

cases like this are very frecvent in romania a country where mercy and remorse are not present in hospital staff and out also, if you become ill you will then be in big trouble, as most of the people die not from the diagnostics or illnes they have but they die from Malpractice. Refers to Negligence or misconduct by a professional person, such as a doctor, a dentist.

the subject of the film was the actual 1997 case of Constantin Nica, a 52 year old man who, after being sent away from several hospitals, was left in the street by the paramedics and died. The movie is a real story.

[gigihentz1]

The reasons for neglecting him range from the fact that the hospitals are jammed with injured passengers from a bus accident to the doctors being only humans who are tired, bored, or simply do not feel like taking care of a smelly old drunkard. During the night, his only advocate is the paramedic, who stubbornly stays by him and tries to get him hospitalized and treated, while passively accepting verbal abuse from the doctors who look down on her.

The film follows Lăzărescu's journey through the night, as he is carried from one hospital to the next. At the first three hospitals, the doctors, after much delay, reluctantly agree to examine Lăzărescu. Then, although finding that he is gravely ill and needs emergency surgery, keep refusing to hospitalize him and send him away. Meanwhile, his health deteriorates rapidly, his speech is reduced to babbling and he slowly loses consciousness.

[gigihentz1]

In the film an old man is carried by an ambulance from hospital to hospital all night long, as doctors keep refusing to treat him and send him away. In the grip of extreme pain, Lăzărescu calls for an ambulance, but once it becomes clear that no ambulance is coming, he asks for his neighbors' help.

It is a comedy. A very black comedy. Amazing!!!

[silvanders]

The first time I saw this film I felt it was very depressing. Upon further viewings I've found more and more comical aspects of it. That's what makes it so fucking great.

[SuperCinemaLover]

Guys it's a comedy but a very dark one and it's a fuckin masterpiece.

@kaleidoskopiko

I agree! The movie is great, and even though it made me laugh in parts, especially at the whole absurdity of the health system in eastern europe, it is definitely not a comedy!!
