Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death to a patient. This deviation can occur in various ways, including:
- Misdiagnosis: Failure to correctly identify a medical condition, leading to delayed or inappropriate treatment.
- Surgical errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.
- Medication errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, administering an incorrect dosage, or failing to monitor for adverse reactions.
- Birth injuries: Negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, causing harm to the newborn.
- Failure to obtain informed consent: Performing medical procedures without properly explaining the risks and benefits to the patient.
The Impact of Medical Malpractice
The consequences of medical malpractice can be life-altering, causing:
- Physical injuries: Permanent disabilities, chronic pain, and the need for ongoing medical care.
- Emotional distress: Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Financial hardship: Lost wages, medical bills, and the inability to work due to the injury.
- Wrongful death: In the most tragic cases, medical negligence can lead to the loss of a loved one.
