Medical mistakes can be devastating for patients

Most people do not regularly think about how often medical mistakes occur. However, researchers from Johns Hopkins University indicates that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in this country. Some estimates show that preventable medical mistakes kill as many as 250,000 people every year in the US. This is an astounding statistic, and researchers say that the most common causes of these mistakes includes:

• Anesthesia errors
• Surgical mistakes
• Prescription medication errors
• Failure to obtain informed consent
• Misdiagnosis or a missed diagnosis
• Delayed treatment
• Healthcare worker fatigue

Medical mistakes can happen at a variety of locations and types of facilities, though many people only think about them happening at hospitals. Mistakes can also happen at private doctor’s offices, clinics, surgical centers, in an ambulance, and more. All healthcare professionals owe a duty of care to their patients. When a medical professional’s level of care falls below acceptable standards for their field, they could be held liable for any harm they cause a patient.
