The Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot has filed a police complaint amid serious suspicions of a failure in the hospital's cardiology department's conduct. The allegations suggest that blood samples were taken from patients without obtaining the legally required informed consent. This alleged breach of protocol has prompted an investigation into the hospital's practices.
The hospital administration initiated the complaint after becoming aware of the potential misconduct within the cardiology unit. The core of the suspicion revolves around the procedure for drawing blood, with concerns that patients were not properly informed or asked for permission before the samples were taken. This practice, if proven, violates both legal requirements and standard medical procedures.
