Medical negligence is a subset of medical law that covers all operations connected with medical recklessness and rashness. The paper is focused on the consistency of practice, explanation and medical conduct. In recent times, medical negligence has resulted to be one of the major concerns in the world.  Also the medical industry, which is perceived to be one of the most honourable occupations, is not prone to incompetence, often leading to the patient's demise or complete/partial disability or some other misery that has detrimental health effects on the patient. There are situations where physicians who are incompletely educated lead to legal proceedings because of the level of incompetence or intentional actions displayed by the doctors. The paper explains what negligence is and how the essence of negligence may be deemed to be medical intervention or actions.
