Tip Of The Day | Medical Errors | Port Orange Malpractice Lawyer
A recent analysis based on insurance claims estimated the annual cost of measurable preventable medical errors that harm patients to be $17.1 billion in 2008 dollars. Ten types of errors accounted for more than two-thirds of the total cost, with the most common ones being pressure ulcers, postoperative infections, and persistent back pain following back surgery. The researchers recommend that these three types of errors receive top priority for intervention and improvement.

Medical Malpractice
- My wife died from a pulmonary embolism ten days after give birth to our child by c-section. We told her doctors and nurses at follow-up appointments about her leg swelling. We called her Ob/Gyn two days before that but he never returned our call.
Her doctors and nurses knew my wife was at risk for pulmonary embolism and that she was overweight. No one examined anything but her swollen ankles at the follow-up appointment. They didn't run tests on her heart, lungs or chest. They didn't check her pedal pulse like I read they should do. This has got to be medical malpractice, right? - My right lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was damaged during my hysterectomy. I am experiencing much pain now and it's so difficult to walk that I can't work in my sales position any more. My follow up exams found that my nerve is not severed. However, my EMG was quite abnormal. Is this the surgeon's fault?
