[Legal liability of the radiologist in missed breast cancer diagnosis].

There have been few lawsuits alleging missed breast cancer diagnosis in Belgium so far. However, since the introduction of the Flemish organised breast cancer screening program in June 2001, one might expect an increase in the years to come. In the present paper, we focus on risk management pointers that minimize the risk of incurring a malpractice lawsuit.

The legal liability of the occupational health professional.

Workers' compensation laws originally provided the exclusive remedy for an injured worker. Under the workers' compensation system, an injured worker received a limited monetary recovery, while the employer and the employees (i.e., the co-employees of the injured worker, including company physicians and nurses) received immunity from negligence actions, including those for medical malpractice. Recent trends in workers' compensation law indicate tha company physicians and nurses now may well be subject to malpractice suits. However, carefully-drawn company health care protocols, appropriate employment requirements, and attention to the handling of cases, may reduce the number of these claims.
