Errors Increasing in the Operating Room
One would think that extreme care would be taken to protect the life of the patient, especially in the operating room. Yet mistakes are on the rise due in part to insurance company greed and the current economy in which hospital budgets are being slashed.
The lawyers at White & McCubbins are dedicated to holding surgeons, hospitals and other health care providers accountable for surgical errors. With more than 40 years of experience, Joe White has achieved a solid record of success for medical malpractice victims throughout Kentucky.
The number of permanent injuries caused by surgical mistakes is alarming. Here are just a few examples:
- Failure to take accurate medical history, leading to serious complications
- Anesthesia error and overdose
- Administration of contraindicated medications
- Surgery on the wrong patient
- Surgery at the wrong site or wrong organ
- Failure to monitor patient condition during or after surgery
- Surgical instruments left in the patient post-operation
