Answer:

Medical malpractice

Step-by-step explanation:

Malpractice is the act of acting without due care, carelessly, without attention and outside the standards set by the governance body. The negligent doctor is the professional who acts in an omissive manner, with total disregard for his ethical duties with the patient. And in the practice of medicine, the utmost care must be taken with the patient, for a simple mistake can cause serious harm to his health or lead him to death.

A very common example of malpractice is when a doctor forgets surgical material inside the patient's body. This type of error is very common, but can be avoided as long as professionals are aware of the procedure.
