Beyond the physical and financial damage, it can profoundly impact the trust between doctors and patients, cornerstone of effective healthcare. When that trust is broken, both the patient’s confidence and the doctor’s reputation are at stake, leading to long-term implications for healthcare delivery. Patients often feel anxious, depressed, or fearful about seeking future medical care, which can affect their long-term health. They may begin to mistrust not only the doctor involved in the malpractice but other healthcare professionals as well, fearing that another error may occur.
