Failing to correctly identify a patient’s condition or delaying a diagnosis can result in inappropriate treatment or lack of necessary care, potentially worsening the patient’s health.
Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the patient, or causing unintended damage to organs, can have severe consequences.
Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to consider drug interactions can lead to adverse drug events, harming patients.
Errors in administering anesthesia, including incorrect dosages or inadequate monitoring, can cause serious complications, including brain damage or death.
Performing medical procedures without the patient’s informed consent, or without adequately explaining the risks involved, can be grounds for malpractice claims.
Breakdowns in communication between doctors, nurses, and other medical staff can lead to errors in patient care, such as misinterpreted orders or overlooked symptoms.
Neglecting proper post-treatment monitoring or failing to provide necessary aftercare instructions can result in complications or deterioration of the patient’s condition.
