Hospital Negligence Causing Illness and Injury
A stay in the hospital for any reason can be an extremely upsetting and stressful experience. Patients are left completely dependent on the hospital and its staff for their immediate physical well-being, including nursing care, medications, radiology, anesthesia, pharmacy, laboratory, technicians, and more. All health care professionals have the responsibility of providing patients with an appropriate level of care and service. Professional negligence by these health care providers can result in unnecessary injuries, illnesses, and death.
Every hospital is required by law to provide an adequate level of health care services. These standards are designed and put in place to ensure a baseline for medical care; failure to adhere to those standards is often the cause of medical malpractice.
Examples of hospital negligence include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to adequately treat a patient's disease
- Neglect of the patient
- Prescription errors and medication dosing errors
- Failure to order proper tests
- Untimely treatment
- Improper use of medical or testing equipment
- Incorrect procedures being performed
- Failure to properly treat a condition
