Criticizing different options:

B. «A patient will... unless ... » this seems quite correct and clear.

C. « will... without...» the "without" preposition would normally fit best to a different type of phrase.

D. «shoudn't there be a testimony» seems clearer...

E. «lacking another doctor to...» rather irregular form in this situation

(C) seems to be the best option

Doctor malpractice is one of the scariest possibilities when you are going in to be treated by a physician. Whether or not you are going to their office or seeing them in a hospital, it is important that you understand what doctor malpractice is and if you can or should file a claim. The first item to address is yes, you can file a claim if you are a victim of doctor malpractice. It doesn't matter that you signed a form when you went in to see the doctor or checked into the hospital granting consent for treatment. You gave permission for a procedure to be carried out properly, by proper staff. Don't let the hospital, doctor or attorney for any of these entities try to tell you otherwise. You have the right to seek damages for the injury or loss that you suffered. Get more information about this by clicking on the link Medical Negligence Claims.
