Any medical negligence solicitor will know that radiation is a powerful tool in a modern clinical environment which, when used correctly, can be a potent source of therapy. Its power, however, also makes it a dangerous force that can have tragic effects when used with substandard patient care.
Radiotherapy is one of the most precise treatments that a doctor can be expected to make decisions upon; too strong a dose risks damaging healthy cells, while too weak a dose may not affect the cancer cells at which it is aimed enough to combat the condition's progress.
One example of the tragedy that may occur can be found in the 2006 death of a Scottish teenager whose doctors delivered a dose that was half as strong again as had been intended, then ceased treatment altogether once the mistake was identified. Not only were her parents granted legal aid to pursue a clinical negligence compensation claim, her case was taken up by Scottish television as a central part of a documentary examining the risk of wrongly-administered radiotherapy in the UK.
It must, of course, be remembered that most treatments offered by medical professionals do not involve clinical negligence and any advice offered on this site should not dissuade anyone from visiting their GP.
