But only a very small percentage of cases ever get that far. And even when they do, the accused doctor may be allowed to continue working in the hospital if he or she has no former history of malpractice or unprofessional conduct.
Međutim, veoma malo slučajeva stigne u tu fazu, a čak i kada stvari dotle dođu, optuženom lekaru može se dozvoliti da radi u bolnici ako prethodno nije osuđivan zbog grešaka u službi ili neprofesionalnog ponašanja.
