Murder case punishable to max of death for any deaths due to negligence

The Issue

It is great that we have respect for Doctors. We should! since they come next to God when saving lives. However, in this world of Business environment, I have seen in and a lot of issues where Hospitals and Doctors are not ethical; and Deaths happen. I don't like it; being a victim of negligence myself at times. I am probably lucky to get good doctors now. Some may not have been. I definitely don't like to ask "How is the doctor? Is he/she good?"

While I don't deny they have made a difference in my life, I have to also agree there is a problem brewing. The problem is business of Medicine and the medical profession has become a Business at the cost of patients. I have seen from Denial of Treatment, plugging off oxygen cylinders in hospitals, Denial to do tests/provide advice during real requirements, political influence based treatments, deaths, and even billing of ICU patients even after death.

Negligence is not done by all. Doctors are also humans apart from being Doctors. And, they have a heart too. But there are black sheeps in the profession and it breaks the trust in God and Doctors.

I request to make punitive action for Doctors harsher with more punitive action (graded based on case to case basis), easy re-addressal of complaints against Doctors, Whistle blower protection; apart from punitive action until death (in rarest of rare cases) in case of a death due to negligence.

Please also help modify and better the system with ISO 9001, ISO 27001, better CyberSecurity and Privacy standards in all government hospitals.

My question:

What will you do if there is a death in your family due to a Doctor's Intentional negligence or some political interference? It should not, it does not, but what if it does; and to you or your family member?
