What Exactly is Medical Malpractice in Washington?Simply put, medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that a reasonably skilled medical professional wouldn't have made. These errors often leave patients worse off than before they sought help. While most healthcare providers do their best, even small mistakes can have serious consequences.
Common Ways Medical Malpractice HappensLet's look at the types of cases we often see:
- Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients
- Doctors missing obvious signs of serious conditions like cancer or heart disease
- Pharmacists giving out wrong medications or incorrect doses
- Problems during childbirth that harm mother or baby
- Mistakes with anesthesia during surgery
- Emergency rooms sending home patients who need urgent care
- Infections that spread because of unclean hospital conditions
- Doctors not telling patients about serious risks before treatment
