What is Medical Malpractice?
It’s safe to say that accidents, unfortunately, are present in the medical field, more often than people think. Medical Malpractice often occurs when a healthcare professional or hospital causes lasting harm to a patient through the failure to take proper care. This permanent harm can be both physical and mental, as well as having the following characteristics:
An injury caused by medical carelessness
Violation of the standards of proper medical care
Injury having long-lasting effects on the everyday life of the patients and loved ones.
Common Types Of MEDICAL Malpractice
Medical malpractice can occur in a variety of different scenarios, sometimes not easily recognizable at first. Still, it is essential to be aware of some of the most frequent types of medical malpractice. Some of the most common malpractices that can occur are:
Misdiagnosis
This happens when a medical professional diagnoses an illness or other medical problem incorrectly. This can result in receiving the wrong medicine, treatment, and care.
Mistreatment
This can go from receiving the wrong care and medicine to abuse from a medical professional, either physically or mentally.
Surgical Errors
Mistakes are never an option during surgery; it could be life or death, and receiving the best care possible is not a question. Surgical errors can lead to drastic side effects permanently affecting your everyday life.
Anesthesia Inaccuracy
Mistakes while administering anesthesia are very dangerous; some of the most common anesthesia mistakes that happen include:
Administration of too much anesthesia
Administration of too little anesthesia, this resulting in a patient being unable to speak or respond but still feeling pain.
Failure to recognize allergy response to anesthesia
Administering the wrong anesthesia
Failure to monitor a patient during the procedure when under anesthesia
Among others
