This paper is about the Case of Jacob and his diseased leg. Clinical negligence is one the main causes that led to the infection of Jacobs’s leg. It later resulted in his life being altered due to the fact that it prolonged his healing process because of a mistake that his own physician had made. The key component of integrity and honesty wasn’t exercised in this situation because of the lack of maintaining high moral and ethical conducts when treating Jacob. Due to this negligence, the consequences will be affected by both parties in which will result in taking it to the next level by taking Dr. M to court.
