Medical Malpractice
According to a report by the Institute of Medicine,
medical errors are responsible
for at least 44,000 deaths each year in the United
States and possibly as many as 98,000 each year.
Medication errors alone contribute to more than 7,000
deaths annually.
Examples of medical malpractice include:
- mismanagement of labor and delivery;
- dispensing the wrong medication or the wrong
dose of medicine;
- improper reading of x-rays;
- transfusion errors;
- the misdiagnosis of life-threatening conditions,
such as cancer or in the emergency room;
- surgery on the wrong limb or organ;
- negligence during surgery; and
- infections related to treatment;
