Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 45 year old woman diagnosed with breast cancer due to medical errors and communication delays. It emphasizes the challenges in implementing a modern ethical paradigm that prioritizes transparency, open communication, and accountability in responding to medical errors. It underscores the need for a cultural shift in healthcare to align with these principles amid existing legal and organizational challenges.
