Forms of Medical Errors

Medical errors can take many forms but unfortunately, even the smallest error can have severe consequences.  Errors can occur on a visit to a physician, in the emergency room, during inpatient care, or due to the actions of a medical supply company or pharmacist.  Errors can cause a lack of vital treatment, incorrect treatment, direct injury or illness, and tragically, even death.  If you suspect an adverse health condition you are experiencing is due to a medical error, it is vital you contact a Tempe personal injury attorney immediately.

Medical errors can occur in countless ways and situations.  Some examples include:

• Administering an incorrect drug, potentially causing dangerous reactions and effects.
• Errors in surgery, resulting in direct injury to the patient.  This can include such devastating effects as brain injury or spinal cord injury.
• Leaving foreign objects inside a patient's body after surgery.
• Responding to an emergency situation with the incorrect procedure, this failing to salvage the patient's health or life.
• Selecting an inappropriate birthing procedure, causing injury to the baby or mother, or both.
• Failing to administer anesthetic correctly and so submitting the patient to intense pain and health complications.
• Reading test results incorrectly, resulting in lack of due care.
