The Basics of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can involve errors of judgment, omission and commission, such as:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis — Failing to recognize the symptoms of cancer or heart disease can cost a patient time and can allow the disease to progress to the point where even radical treatment is ineffective.
- Wrong medication or dosage — Too many doctors are unfamiliar with the medications they prescribe, and they may communicate inaccurately to pharmacies that fill prescriptions.
- Failure to check for drug interactions — Your doctor or pharmacist must consult your drug history to be aware of potentially dangerous interactions.
- Failure to order appropriate diagnostic testing — Doctors must follow accepted protocols to determine how to treat a patient.
- Misreading test results — Sloppy, inattentive work by radiologists and other doctors charged with interpreting tests can lead to a misdiagnosis.
Although surgery is far too complex to guarantee every patient a positive outcome, surgical errors that doctors admit should never happen, do continue to happen, including:
- Wrong site or side surgery
- Wrong procedure
- Incision error
|
- Leaving foreign objects in body
- Anesthesia error
|
Violations of surgical protocols too often lead to disastrous consequences. In the best cases, patients may need additional surgery to repair the damage; in worst case scenarios, patients may be permanently harmed and face a lifetime of pain and disability.
The Impact of Substandard Hospital Care
While a hospital is not automatically liable for malpractice from every doctor that has privileges, a hospital is liable in cases where its lack of oversight has caused injury, including:
- Failure to obtain informed consent
- Negligent hiring and supervision
|
- Unsanitary conditions
- Faulty equipment
|
