Health Treatment Concerns

Patient's rights to their medical records. A fiction in reality? Patients have rights? For evil to prevail – it is sufficient only – that good men/women do nothing?

    Japan: Saga: From our ''Criminal justice nightmares' department: The Isahi Shimbum reports that an unidentified forensic DNA analyst has been fired for committing more than 100 acts of misconduct, including fabricating reports about DNA tests that he never performed is also under criminal investigation on suspicion of falsifying official documents and destroying evidence (Japan's Yvonne Missy Woods? HL) the Asahi Shimbum (Writers Shohei Okada and Kiriko Nemoto) reportss noting that: "The forensic analyst now in his 40s was hired in 2012 and was tasked with handling 632 DNA analyses. An internal investigation found that 130 of these cases assigned since 2017 were conducted inappropriately. He falsely reported that DNA testing had been completed in nine of the cases, although no testing actually took place. For these cases, he fabricated reports to say that no DNA was detected, police sources said. “I thought the process would be finished more quickly that way,” the analyst reportedly said. In four other cases, the analyst lost leftover forensic materials, such as gauze, after the DNA testing and “returned” substitute items to police stations, the sources said. Prefectural police regarded those 13 cases as particularly malicious and referred them to prosecutors. Other inappropriate actions included recording incorrect dates on official documents."
