Opinion on Medical Errors
In one of the latest surveys we asked about medical errors. Nowadays interviewees more often than thirteen years ago declare that they were a victim of medical malpractice. One in four interviewees report that it happened to them that a doctor made a mistake when determining an ailment or a doctor recommended treatment which turned out to be erroneous. In 2001 such situations were mentioned by one in six respondents. In general, one in three interviewees said that he/she experienced malpractice in medical treatment. In 2001 such an opinion was expressed by one in four interviewees.

More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: “Opinions on Medical Errors and Trust in Doctors“ which includes also internet monitoring data.
The data comes from the surveys “Current Problems and Events” conducted in years 2001 and 2014.
