Medical Malpractice
Brief description
Medical Malpractice
Medical professionals have a duty to provide care and protect the lives of their patients. While most medical professionals are trustworthy and competent, mistakes do still happen. When they do, the consequences can be serious or even life-threatening.
Malpractice
Medical malpractice can be in the form of an error, a negligent act, or a failure to act. It can involve a doctor, surgeon, nurse, anesthesiologist, dentist, pharmacist, or other health professional. Malpractice can include:
01
Not properly reviewing the patient’s medical history
02
Failing to diagnose or delaying the diagnosis of a medical condition
03
Incorrectly diagnosing a serious condition
04
Making mistakes during a medical or surgical procedure
05
Leaving foreign objects inside a patient’s body during a procedure
06
Performing the wrong medical or surgical procedure
07
Failing to disclose the risks or side effects of a procedure
08
Prescribing or administering the wrong medication or dosage
