Common Forms of Medical Malpractice
There are numerous ways that healthcare providers can fall short of the minimum standard of care in treating patients. Some of the most common types of medical malpractice we see include:
- Misdiagnosis: Inaccurately diagnosing a patient can cause them to receive unnecessary treatment while delaying the treatment they actually need.
- Delayed diagnosis: A delayed diagnosis can cost a patient precious time when they are dealing with a life-threatening illness. Consider, for example, failing to recognize an internal bleed that results in massive blood loss and ultimate death.
- Medication errors: Giving medication that is incorrect, the wrong dosage, the wrong format, or for the wrong patient can have devastating results. For instance, supplying too much anesthesia during surgery.
- Birth injuries: Care that is delayed or incorrect can result in the loss of life or permanent disabilities devastating for a young family.
- Surgical errors: Operating on the wrong body part, leaving foreign objects inside a patient, and failing to timely stop a procedure when the patient shows signs of distress are all egregious examples of surgical negligence.
- Anesthesia errors: The anesthesia team is responsible for both delivering the anesthesia and monitoring the patient while under anesthesia. Failing to timely react when a patient stops breathing to the effects of anesthesia can cause permanent brain damage or worse.
- Misreading diagnostic tests: Misinterpreting diagnostic test results can lead to a delay in diagnosis and care.
