This may be a good thing because some patients claim their doctors are neglecting them when they are just needy. With the availability of so-called diagnoses online many patients have already decided what condition they are suffering from, and what medicine they should be prescribed. They sometimes believe that they are better informed than their doctors are. If the patient does not get exactly what they want, they are being neglected. Moreover, we often forget that doctors and other health care professionals are human also. They, just like we, need time to chill out and breathe. It is inconsiderate to perceive that patients are the only people who are having difficulties, not that patients are not suffering, but if patients would be patient with their health care providers negligence charges would be sparse. If a doctor neglects their patients then why are they a doctor to begin with? People become medical doctors to help people, it is what they want to do.
However, people do die from medical negligence. Health care providers could re-examine doctors and nurses periodically to evaluate their ability to practice. If doctors and nurses were going to be evaluated, they would perform more carefully.
