  1. What Should You Do When Negligence of a Healthcare Provider Can Cause Harm to You?

  2. When you or someone you love needs to seek medical treatment, you expect that you will be helped, not hurt, by medical professionals. Unfortunately, there are times when the negligence or carelessness of a healthcare provider can cause further harm to someone.

  3. What Is Going On? They know that people seek help from medical professionals in order to feel better. What you may not realize is that medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the United States. It is estimated that around 250,000 people lose their lives due to medical mistakes each year and that millions more survive and must live with the consequences of what happened.

  4. Think about how many medical professionals there are ● Doctors ● Nurses ● Optometrists ● Dentists ● Pharmacists ● Paramedics ● Surgeons

  5. Each of these people should perform at a high level for every patient, but their negligence can cause major patient harm: Diagnostic Mistakes: According to Johns Hopkins researchers, errors made when diagnosing patients are the most devastating because they can lead to either delayed treatment or even no treatment at all. This contributes to extreme patient suffering and higher medical costs.

  6. Medication errors: An incredible amount of people inside a hospital setting experience medication errors. This can include receiving the wrong medication, the wrong dosage, or not getting the correct medication. Patients discharged often have medication errors, leading to medication problems at home.

  7. Infections They know that one out of every 30 patients in the hospital acquires an infection each day. This occurs when medical staff fails to follow proper protocols to prevent infections from forming or spreading.

  8. Surgical mistakes They have heard of surgical errors such as operating on the wrong body part or surgical instruments being left behind inside of a patient. These are serious mistakes called “never events.” Surgery is complicated and there are many other errors that can happen if a surgeon or anyone on the surgical team is careless or negligent.
