Medical Mistakes are all too common in our nations hospitals and health care facilities today. Thousands of lives are lost each year because of medical mistakes. Many wrong diagnosis, treatments, and surgeries occur due to a number of reasons.
Medical staffs are often overworked and in stressful conditions. Medication dosageages are not always monitored and administered correctly. Files are often switched unknowingly. Surgeries are not properly marked and specified as to what needs to be done, and sometimes surgical equipment is left inside the body, causing serious damage and infection. When mistakes occur, often there is nothing a person can do but suffer the loss of a job, way of life, or a friend or loved one.
Most patients do receive quality care even in these conditions, and changes are being implemented to reduce these mistakes caused by human error. Many facilities are using computer monitoring and record keeping to keep better track of patients and conditions.
Ways You Can Help
1. Find "accredited high tech hospitals"
2. Ask if healthcare workers follow correct protocal and procedures.
3. Ask lots of questions so that you know what is being done, and what the
expected result will be.
4. Ask what medications you will be receiving and what medications you
already take, and what they are for.
5. Check the computerized wristband for accuracy.
6. Seek a second or third opinion if you feel the diagnosis may be wrong.
7. Listen to your body and pay attention to warning signs.
When mistakes do occur, and a lawsuit is filed, non recourse legal funding is often available before a case is settled, and provides injured parties with much needed cash until the case is finally settled either in or out of court.
