Defining And Understanding Medical Malpractice

We all need medical assistance throughout our life; however

, does this assistance always go right for every one of us? My answer varies with the common answer that is affirmative. We all have seen doctor and paramedics as the life savior in most of the situations. However, there are many cases where fatal incidents have occurred wherein the incident have proved to be catastrophic due to the negligence of paramedics or doctor. All such activities can be universally termed as Medical Malpractice.

Medical Malpractice can occur due to failure or delay in proper diagnosis of the patient by the medical professionals and can be fatal in many cases. Most of the times, we do not realize how critical such Medical Malpractice cases can be. Some of the most commonly Medical Malpractice can occur due to the following activities or situations. Some of such situations occur due to delay in required treatment, wrong diagnosis of disease or illness, wrong treatment etc. All treatment are done by medical specialist, however thing might get wrong in case proper analysis is not done or missed. We will discuss these situations and would try to understand which all situations or activities can be termed as Medical Malpractice.

Delay treatment: Delay in treatment mean a situation where necessary action is not taken at the required point of time. For example, if there is a case of emergency and the necessary medical assistance is delayed due to any non availability of doctors or staff at the time of causality.

Surgical errors: Such errors often occur when a patient is operated and due to the negligence of the surgeon or medical staff surgical equipment is left inside body of the patient. This kind of act is very rare. This kind of error may be fatal or may cause severe damages to the patient. In some case, incidents like Cerebral Palsy can occur when an operation goes. In such situation, the brain of a patient is damaged due to Medical Malpractice to an extent that it may even be fatal in most of the cases.

Incorrect prescription: This error is most common form of Medical Malpractices and can seriously affect the patience health either in long term or short term. One can see the impact of this activity when the prescription starts to show side affect on the patient directly. Most commonly effected sections are the expecting mother. Please note that an expecting mother is highly sensitive towards simple antibiotic or common used medicines. Hence, an expecting mother should take extra cautious while taking any prescription and should always consult a professionals help.

Infant mortality or defects: As mentioned above, an expecting mother is highly sensitive toward all general or commonly used medicine. In case, prescription is not appropriate, the infant can suffer physical, mental or other abnormalities. In many case, a wrong prescription may be seriously fetal or life threatening.

There are legal help available for the patients and their association in case any such incident is occurs to them. However, we should always be away considering the fact that precautions are better cure.
