Small Procedures Ending With Big Problems

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Mistakes are a common part of life that we have each and every day. Although mistakes are only natural, in the field of medicine there are no room for that mistakes. Medical malpractice, today, is impacting more lives each and every day. Reports state that the rate of medical malpractice is not just increasing each year, but every week. However, why is this actually occurring, especially in such a sensitive, serious field such as medicine? When medical malpractice takes place it cannot only cause a patients further illness, but also diseases, health issues, and even death.

The Issue At Hand

Yet, how is medical malpractice still occurring in this day and age where technology making our lives easier? Most of the time medical malpractice is the result of doctors, or health professionals simply not caring. They are not caring to put in the appropriate amount of time into what they are doing, wandering off in their mind somewhere else besides the matter at hand, and unfortunately are just apathetic with the whole situation. Yet, small procedures, or aspects such as prescriptions should virtually not take any diligent effort from these health professionals, but why are the easy things causing the worst damage to patients?

Health Care, or Harm

At one point or another you are going to become ill, or have an injury. Usually, individuals will go to a health clinic, or in some more serious cases will go straight to a hospital. In these cases, individuals most of the time need minor health care treatment such as being prescribed medications, stitches, or even just shots. However, more and more cases are coming to light that show health care professionals not doing this small, easy tasks properly. In one report, a woman went to get medication for her sinuses, which is common at this time of year. However, the woman was actually prescribed the wrong medication and suffered from her symptoms even more, and was later hospitalized.

Health Care, or Clinical Trial?

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Today, medical malpractice is currently at an all time high within the United States. As we all know mistakes, and accidents happen, but there is hardly any room for them within the medical field. When individuals seek out health care they expect treatment that will help them become well, and healthy. However, with today’s standard more individuals are more likely to walk out of a hospital with more health issues than they came in with. However, medical malpractice is serious and affects your life now and later. Yet, how is medical malpractice affecting individuals today?

Understanding The Facts

Clinical trials are a common portion of medicine. Most of the time a doctor, or health professional will perform a clinic trial on an individual after they have signed numerous amounts of waivers, and documents that are suppose to relate the risks that are associated with these tests and studies and the possible outcomes that are correlated with it. However, a report recently shows what some doctors think they are able to do without the legal consent of the individual.

Where’s The Professionalism?

A women wanted to have some plastic surgery treatments done in order to lose some body fat, and also give the appearance that she was younger. Her surgery called for liposuction in the areas of her hips, stomach, arms, and tights. However, the doctor that performed her surgery forgot to mention one thing. He was planning on using a surgical device, used for skin tightening that is not approved by the FDA in the United States at the moment. Whether or not the surgeon was paid to do these “clinical trials” or not is unknown at the moment. However, it is known that not only did the FDA not approve the use of the device with this case, but the surgeon also ignored, and did not follow the general guidelines of using the device.

Today, the woman has to deal with excruciating pain each and everyday, and has to deal with scars from her surgery. If you or a loved one has experienced medical malpractice you need to fight for the damages that you need and deserve. Contact an experienced attorney today in order to get your case started.
