A conviction for manslaughter is a professional disaster for the doctor, likely to herald the end of his career in medicine, and a possible prison sentence. A finding of civil negligence is bad enough; a verdict of criminal negligence is truly tragic. There are not many prosecutions for doctor manslaughter, because jurors respect doctors, recognise the inherent risks in medicine and are reluctant to convict. However, prosecutions are now more common than before, especially since 1990 or thereabouts ("Doctors charged with manslaughter in the course of medical practice 1795-2005, a literature review", RE Ferner and SE McDowell, J R Soc Med 2006 June 99(6) 309-314 - mistakes, slips and violations).
