Understanding 3 Common Medical Malpractice Issues

February 20, 2020

It is comforting to think of doctors as magical beings who are incapable of making errors, but the truth is, they’re human too. Unfortunately, that means they’re not immune to making mistakes. At the Law Offices of Patrick L. Goss, we often represent clients who have been hurt as the result of medical malpractice. We’re sad to say we’ve seen time and time again just how much a doctor’s mistake, whether its caused by carelessness, poor judgement, or lack of proper training, can impact a patient’s life.

Today, we’re looking at three of the most common medical malpractice claims. We hope these things never happen to you, but if they have or if they do, we want you to know that we can help you get the compensation you deserve.

 

  • Anesthesia errors

 

It’s hard to imagine anything more traumatizing than being awake during a surgery where you’re supposed to be asleep, or feeling the sensation of a knife cutting through your muscles when you’re supposed to be numb. Or what if you were given too much anesthetic or the wrong type and you almost didn’t wake back up? When your anesthesiologist makes a mistake, the results can be horrific. 

 

  • Surgical errors

 

As scary as it is to think about, there’s a lot that can go wrong during a surgery. There’s also the possibility that you don’t need the surgery you’re having at all, or that you actually need a different surgery. Have you ever heard someone say they felt worse after the surgery they supposedly needed than they did before? Unfortunately, it happens far too often.

 

  • Prescription and diagnostic errors

 

If you take medicine that’s meant to treat an illness you don’t actually have, it can wreak havoc on your body. You can end up far sicker than you ever were to begin with and the effects can be long-lasting.
