What
Does It Mean To You If You Have Been The Victim Of A Clinical Accident?
It is common for the victim of the clinical
accident, to have an emotional
reaction. It is important for you to know that this is not unusual and
there are many organisations that may be help with counselling
The following are some of the possible effects upon you.
- Anger
- Guilt
- Fear
- Embarrassment

- Mistrust
The victim of
the clinical accident has placed his/her trust in a health care
professional and that trust may have been abused and as a result the victim
possibly feels one or several emotional
reactions.

fully understand this and suggest that you should get in touch
with charitable groups, such as AVMA (Action for Victims of Medical Accidents),
who have been authorised to maintain its own referral panel for public
funding for clinical negligence cases. You can contact them on 020 8686
