Q: Can the employer count leave taken due to pregnancy complications against the 12 weeks of FMLA leave for the birth and care of my child?

Yes. An eligible employee is entitled to a total of 12 weeks of FMLA leave in a 12-month period. If the employee has to use some of that leave for another reason, including a difficult pregnancy, it may be counted as part of the 12-week FMLA leave entitlement.

Q: Can the employer count time on maternity leave or pregnancy disability as FMLA leave?

Yes. Pregnancy disability leave or maternity leave for the birth of a child would be considered qualifying FMLA leave for a serious health condition and may be counted in the 12 weeks of leave so long as the employer properly notifies the employee in writing of the designation.

Q: How much leave am I entitled to under FMLA?

If you are an “eligible” employee, you are entitled to 12 weeks of leave for certain family and medical reasons during a 12-month period.

Q: How is the 12-month period calculated under FMLA?

Employers may select one of four options for determining the 12-month period:

- the calendar year;
- any fixed 12-month “leave year” such as a fiscal year, a year required by state law, or a year starting on the employee’s “anniversary” date;
- the 12-month period measured forward from the date any employee’s first FMLA leave begins; or
a “rolling” 12-month period measured backward from the date an employee uses FMLA leave.

It is unfortunate when incidents of medical negligence occur. But it is also not right for you or anyone to take this sitting down. The healthcare provider must be made answerable for this negligence, which is entitled to you by law. Medical negligence happens when a medical provider fails to act in accordance with the standard procedures in medicine.

The most important step is to establish the elements of your case, like who exactly is the person or who are the people involved in the malpractice incident, as well as establish an as detailed as possible chronology of events that led to the incident. You may also opt to settle, if the medical institution offers it, but first consult your lawyer for the best course of action.

Every medical professional is required to ask for consent for any medical procedure, test or operation that will be done to a patient except if there is grave threat to life. This is to avoid consequences of patient claims that procedures done were not to their liking or authorization. Even the ambulance services obtain permission if possible from the patient or next of kin for such treatment to allow them authority to do what is necessary as it comes.
The issues regarding religious issues and primary care are at the top of the agenda in medical law circles, where religion of a particular patient who is in critical care prevents doctors from say, transfusing blood or carrying out a medical procedure that can easily alleviate the medical condition, hands tied down by the said law. There is also issues of hospitals or doctors turning away patients of particular ethnicity that borders on discrimination. Till deliberations and a ruling is made on the matter of such cases, people will continue dying for the law is the law and their beliefs are theirs along so must be respected

Been around for quite sometime due to the very real risk of contracting diseases due to blood-borne pathogens the law was put in place to ensure safety of medical personnel who are exposed to such implements. Syringes and other medical instruments that have come in contact with or are used to extract blood and other bodily fluids used to be dumped into garbage bins that have been known to spread diseases and cause epidemics.
Even as recent as a few months ago certain medical facilities were found to have practiced needle sharing and use that caused the infection of patients with the hepatitis virus which heightens the need for such laws and the observance thereof. People who work in medical facilities are to receive training on the use, disposal and handling of such materials to prevent the spread of disease as stated by the law. Medical professionals are some of the most likely to acquire infections from such medical implements due to their close use and proximity to such materials. Safety is the key and knowledge makes the workplace safer for all.

It is greatly difficult to land a job at this time when the economy continues to weaken and crisis overwhelms the best of our lives. People now have to work harder to be able to provide for their immediate needs. They have to work on the side to be able to make ends meet.

Some instances that breach employment contracts include harassment, unpaid salary, when terms of employment is changed and if you are accused of false allegations.

Malpractice generally refers to any type of illegal or careless behavior in a profession. It is considered a malpractice when a skilled professional rendering responsible services fails to perform his professional services, consequently causing serious loss or damage to the victim. Malpractice can occur in the fields of medicine, law, education and other professional entities.

Laws of malpractice

The laws of malpractice suggest that before the affected service taker will start proceeding to sue the professional, he must first consult the professional and make him aware of the area of his guilt or his lack of care and the injury he has caused to the client. After the consultation is over, the client can then proceed under the guidance of State organizations and other public agencies that conducts disciplinary functions. These organizations will impose fines, suspensions, penalties and even revocation of services to the guilty party.

Medical malpractice

Medical malpractice is one of the common malpractices. It occurs everyday. It is a complaint issued by the patient against the practitioner for causing injury, damage or loss due to negligent treatments. In this matter, the doctors, nurses and the hospital staff will be brought to the front for inquiry of their services. A medical practice warranty will only be issued if the defendant is found guilty of causing damage or injury to the victim due to his negligence, lack of concentration or wrong diagnosis and treatment.
