THE COMPLAINANT COMPLEX AND NEGLIGENCE: A SURVEY IN THE MEDICAL RECORDS DEPARTMENT OF FEDERAL NEUROPSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL ENUGU, NIGERIA

The purpose of this work is to cross examine all clinic entries with a view to determining the appropriateness of the status administered as patient, client, in-patient, out- patient, parole, trial  and otherwise. The legality is built upon the fact of economic pressure to generate revenue internally and the concomitant effect on medical personnel who may want to indulge.The power effect on the public that may want to cajole and get squarely away is also considered with the victim in both cases being the patient that is weak in asserting oneself or that has no advocate to speak for him/her. The degree to which this can happen is given an opener for empathy to intervene and resolve peacefully.
