Understanding Medical Malpractice in WashingtonSometimes it's hard to tell if what happened to you counts as medical malpractice. In simple terms, it's when a healthcare worker's mistake hurts a patient. This can happen in many ways:
- A surgeon operates on the wrong body part
- A doctor misses obvious signs of a serious illness
- Someone gets the wrong medicine or the wrong dose
- A baby gets hurt during delivery
- An anesthesiologist makes a mistake during surgery
- Emergency room staff miss something important
- A doctor doesn't tell you about serious risks before treatment
If you're in Stanwood, you probably know these medical facilities:
- Skagit Regional Health - Stanwood Camano: Your local medical center serving the immediate community
- Providence Regional Medical Center Everett: A larger facility with more specialized services
- Cascade Valley Hospital: Serving the broader regional community
- WhidbeyHealth Medical Center: Another important healthcare option in our area
Medical mistakes can leave lasting scars, both seen and unseen:
Physical Problems- Brain injuries that change everything
