When seeking out the help of a doctor or other healthcare professional, you expect them to do their jobs to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, there are times when the people you trust to care for you make costly mistakes. When healthcare professionals make mistakes, whether intentional or unintentional, people can get seriously hurt or even killed.

  4. What Happens? They wish they could report that medical mistakes are rare in the United States, but that is not the case. New reports say that they are the third leading cause of death in the country, with some estimates putting the number near 440,000 fatalities a year.

  5. Let’s Look At A Few Of The Common Ways These Mistakes Occur. ❏ ❏ Infections: Each day in the US around one in 30 hospital patients in the hospital acquires an infection. Research shows them that one in three patients who die in the hospital has sepsis, an infection that spreads to the blood and throughout the body.

  6. Misdiagnosis: ❏ Diagnostic errors can lead to delayed treatment in both emergency situations as well as for chronic diseases. Surgical Errors: ❏ They have all heard of the “never events” in surgery (operating on the wrong person or body part, leaving objects inside of someone, etc.) They also know that there are many other, less reported, mistakes that are made during surgery that cause just as much patient harm.

  7. ❏ Medication Errors: ❏ There are supposed to be many checks in place from the time a medication is ordered by the doctor to the time it is dispensed. Yet, many patients still end up getting the wrong medication, the wrong dosage, or they do not receive their medications at all.
