considered to be:

•slander
•dishonesty
•malpractice

A physician, knowing the dangers of tetanus in puncture wounds, when he does not administer tetanus vaccine to a person with a wound is considered malpractice.

Explanation:

Medical malpractice is attributable to the physician when, having the proper medical knowledge, he makes errors of omission or improper care of a patient and as a result a person may become ill, worsen his illness or die.

The medical profession and all health care personnel are governed by ethical guidelines and standards of care, which must be fully complied with. Failure to provide a treatment that would put life at risk —such as failure to give a tetanus injection to an injured person— is considered malpractice and may lead to legal reprisals and even suspension of a physician's license to practice.
