  1. Some Tips To Follow If You Think You Have Experienced A Medical Mistake

  2. They know that you count on healthcare professionals to do their best to care for you and your loved ones. However, researchers at Johns Hopkins have told them that medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer.

  3. Some Of The Most Common Medical Errors Include Hospital-acquired infections Medication errors Surgical mistakes Anesthesia mistakes Failure to diagnose and treat Failure to monitor a patient/follow up Failing to obtain patients’ medical history

  4. What you can do ? There are some steps you can take if you suspect an error has occurred. ● Get copies of all of your medical records. Medical malpractice cases are built around records and you need to get yours as soon as possible. These records will contain valuable information such as scans, tests, treatment, and follow up. If a mistake was made, it will likely show up in the documentation. Seek treatment from another doctor. Explain to them what you think happened and get another opinion. Hopefully, another doctor can undo the damage caused by the first doctor. ●

  5. ● Write down everything that has happened in a journal, either handwritten or digital. Date every entry and describe everything that has happened. This includes treatments and procedures, symptoms you are experiencing, how this is affecting your life, and more. Journals are admissible evidence in most court cases. ● Find an attorney that specializes in medical malpractice. This is a field of law that can become complicated, so you do not want just any attorney handling your case. Find someone who has a strong track record of winning for their clients.
