The Kinds of Medical Malpractice Cases and How To Prevent Them

There are many different kinds of medical malpractice cases that have been seen today. We need to prevent them to make sure that we will not see each other in a client-lawyer capacity. We only want what is best for you. Let us continue.

Anesthesia Errors

Because of the pain of surgery, anesthesia is necessary for us to be brave enough to face it. Unfortunately, there are some instances that the anesthesiologist or the medical practitioner had an error in the dosage of the anesthesia that caused damage to the patient. Cases like this one are very tricky especially when it comes to the fact that when we hear something fail we often no longer want to deal with it.

With that, we must check out the different kinds of medical malpractice cases in terms of anesthesia errors and find out how we can properly prevent them from happening to you. If you are the patient there are a lot of ways that you can choose the right anesthesiologist and see to it that he knows what he is doing and that she is an expert in terms of putting anesthesia in your body.

Medical malpractice cases relating to anesthesia errors often come from the wrong dose of anesthesia which causes notice damage to internal organs that would result in lasting injuries or death but an instant effect on the patient who would either have an instant negative reaction or feel that the anesthesia is not working if a low dose is given.

If you are a medical practitioner and you are facing a case on anesthesia ever you need to make sure that you get on the case as soon as possible. Let the law firm of Haque Legal handle the matter for you.

Surgical errors

It may also happen that surgical errors would happen and this is a very dangerous kind of medical malpractice that you need to deal with. Surgical errors such as the surgical mistakes on operating on the wrong patient or operating on the wrong part of the patient or very serious especially if it causes great damage or injury to the everyday life of such patient.

In the worst case, a surgical error may also affect the life of the patient progressively and this happens when the surgeon or the medical practitioner leaves sponges inside the patient or any other tools inside the patient.

Birth Injuries

One of the most heartbreaking medical malpractice situations that we have faced in our practice is when it is affected by birth injuries. Birth injuries as medical malpractice are not just a problem for the surgeon but become a lifetime problem that the parents of the child would have to deal with.

Medical malpractice leading to birth injuries come in many forms such as when a child has an injury because the mother was not properly monitored by the doctor who’s dealing with her care or another injury occur when the medical practitioners fail to notice that a dangerous drop in the baby’s heart rate occurred after having been born.

We consider this as the most heartbreaking kind of medical malpractice case because dealing with it means that we would be dealing not just with an aggrieved family but also with a brokenhearted mother who has to grieve the loss of her child or the life that her child could have led.

Lack of informed consent

Informed consent in the medical community is very important especially because patients have a right to understand that the thing that they are going to go through would have specific side effects or would have an effect on their daily life if it is not done properly. 

Legally medical practitioners are required to provide patients with all of the foreseeable benefits as well as the consequences of the medical treatment that they plan on getting. If the medical practitioner failed to provide information that would have affected the decision-making of the individual involved he would be considered guilty of medical malpractice arising from the lack of informed consent.

There are a lot of other medical malpractice cases that arise from the different circumstances that the client has to deal with. But the ones that we have raised here are the ones that you should be on the lookout for at all times.
