Did a preventable mistake happen during your surgery?
According to the American Medical Association, 98,000 people lose their lives every year as a result of medical error, often due to mistakes that occurred during surgery. It’s every patient’s worst nightmare to wake up from surgery and discover something went wrong. While all surgical procedures carry risk, there are some instances when the outcome could have been prevented and the error is a direct result of negligence on behalf of the doctor performing the procedure.
What are preventable surgical errors?
- Surgery performed on the wrong site or part of the body
