Hialeah Medical Malpractice - A Bigger Problem Then You Might Realize
If you or someone you care about got hurt in a medical facility while undergoing care, while preparing to undergo care, or while recuperating, you might feel alone, confused, frustrated and overwhelmed. If so, you are not alone. Sadly, medical malpractice cases - matters in which a healthcare provider's carelessness, negligence or error of omission causes significant harm indirectly or directly - seem to be on the rise. A HealthGrades study in 2006 found that more than 575,000 people in the U.S. died due to medical errors over a three-year period. Approximately 1.25 million patients a year get hurt due to poor, inadequate, or non-existent care.
Common Types of Injuries
- Misdiagnosis - A provider fails to identify a potential dangerous disease or illness (such as cancer); and, as a result of this failure to diagnose, the patient suffers harm.
- Surgical Injuries - A surgeon makes an error or an omission that results in undue pain, injury or death. Common errors include failure to remove instruments, failure to administer anesthesia correctly, and failure to review patient's medical history.
- Pharmaceutical Errors - A pharmacist or other provider misreads a prescription and puts the patient on the wrong dose of medication, switches up patient meds, or fails to look for contraindications; and this error causes serious harm to the patient.
- General Negligence - A hospital does not appropriately clean or disinfect the facility; and as a result, a patient gets ill or does not recover effectively from surgery. You might think we would have made great strides since the day of Semmelweis (the 19th century doctor who, through great perseverance, got medical professionals to finally start washing their hands). But the rate of hand-washing among medical personnel -- even in Florida's best facilities is abysmal -- by independent metrics.
