Medical Malpractice
by: Lucy Bartlett
Medical malpractice, which is also known as medical negligence, is caused by a physician who gives improper treatment to a health condition, which in turn causes a fresh or worsening health condition. Even though the primary health condition of the patient when he reported for consultation is not the responsibility of the medical practitioner, subsequent problems caused by improper approach in curing the health problem is the sole responsibility of the medical practitioner.
The malpractice may occur due to failure or delay in diagnosing the illness, a mishap, which happened during anesthesia or surgery, or if the practitioner omits to get the concurrence of the patient by providing incomplete details of when a surgery or an operation is to be performed.
Even though a correct diagnosis was made, subsequent improper treatment of the identified illness also constitutes to medical malpractice.
Implants, medical devices or prescription drug misuse also forms part of medical malpractice.
Medical malpractice is bound by the statute of limitations. Even with a valid claim, if a patient waits for a longer period, then the claim will be lost. After the malpractice takes place, a claim should be filed within 2 years. Since medical malpractice involves tricky exceptions and procedures, hence even if two years are elapsed it can still be possible to file a case. Read more
