Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Learning you or your loved one has suffered an incident of medical malpractice is commonly a painful and traumatizing experience.

Medical malpractice can occur in several forms, including 

• Surgical errors and mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the patient, or performing the incorrect procedure
• Failing to diagnose a condition accurately or in a timely manner, commonly referred to as misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, which can lead to worsened health outcomes
• Medication errors, such as administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to consider drug interactions
• Birth injuries, either to a baby or mother, during childbirth as a result of negligence, such as improper monitoring or failure to perform a necessary cesarean section
• Anesthesia errors are often made during anesthesia administration, which can result in complications or even death
• Inadequate aftercare, such as failing to provide proper follow-up care or instructions after a procedure, often leads to complications or worsening conditions
• Failure to obtain informed consent or not providing adequate information about the risks and benefits of a treatment or procedure that results in a patient undergoing treatment without fully understanding the implications
• Negligence in treatment by providing substandard care that does not meet the accepted medical standards and results in harm to the patient

“Most people are never prepared for a life altering event. Nor do we know what to expect when it does happen. First there’s the fear of uncertainty and change.” 

My sister had such a turn of events, medical mistakes and malpractice changed her life forever. Sold on the “simple “ idea of gastric bypass, the “quick fix” that caused a cascade of neurological and debilitating ailments. My sister became unable to walk, lost the use of her hands, was unable to feed herself and had severe memory and cognitive issues. That’s when she needed help, not just medically, but someone to fight for her. That’s when I met Ernest Pribanic. From that first day he sat with us at the rehab facility, I knew we had the right team to fight for her. Not only being compassionate and patient, but listening to a woman who just wanted her life back, he knew what needed to be done; listening through the tears and the days that she would just break down. It wasn’t a pleasant journey to say the least but he never hesitated to answer our calls and be there when the time came to face those that had failed her.
