One of the most common types of medical malpractice is misdiagnosis. It happens when a medical expert misdiagnoses a critical illness or fails to recognize it, which can exacerbate the patient's condition and result in wrong or delayed treatment.
Another common example is surgical mistakes, such as carrying out the wrong operation, operating on the wrong area of the body, or leaving surgical tools inside the patient. These errors can have catastrophic consequences for the patient's health and need repeated procedures to correct.
Birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy, fractures, or nerve damage, can result from medical malpractice. If the mother is mistreated during birth or receives inadequate prenatal care, it may also have an impact on her health.
Even though they are less frequent, anesthesia errors can be especially harmful. These might include everything from giving a patient too much anesthetic to neglecting to keep an eye on their vital signs, which can have potentially fatal consequences.
