For example, if the doctor delays to provide immediate help to the patient when the patient is experiencing great pain, it can be considered as medical negligence.

All kinds of doctors such as general practitioners, dentists, psychiatrists, etc should ensure that patient is provided the best care and treatment.  If you come to know that the health condition of your loved one worsened because of the negligence of medical professionals, you can make a medical negligence claim.
