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.
