Malpractice happens when a doctor deviates from an accepted standard of care, and that failure results in a worsened condition.
Common examples include:
Delayed diagnosis
Botched surgery
Drug errors
Birth injuries
Anesthesia complications
Post-treatment neglect
In these situations, patients suffer, and they deserve answers.

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.
