The majority of medical treatment provided to patients is appropriate under the circumstances. However, even competent physicians, hospital staff, and other medical professionals can commit serious errors during the course and scope of their treatment.
Failure to Diagnose ▪ Misdiagnosis ▪ Birth Injuries ▪ Medical Mistakes
Common medical errors include:
- Failure to diagnose an ailment or misdiagnosis of a serious condition
- Failure to provide appropriate treatment and delay in treatment
- Failure to provide warning of the risks of specific treatment
- Failure to obtain informed consent from the patient or the patient's family
- Failure to prescribe appropriate medication and medication errors
- Birth injuries caused by doctor negligence during labor and delivery
- Failure to properly supervise or discipline physicians and staff
- Failure to follow adequate infection control procedures, causing serious hospital-acquired infections
The list of possible medical errors is vast and ranges from misdiagnosing time-sensitive illnesses and failing to provide treatment, to leaving inappropriate materials inside the body during routine surgery. Hospitals may be understaffed, leading to negligent care, or pharmacists may be inattentive, providing the incorrect medication to critically ill patients. Emergency rooms may fail to see a critically ill patient before it is too late. Whatever your concerns may be, an experienced medical malpractice attorney can confirm whether or not serious mistakes or errors in judgment were made during the course of your treatment.
