In an emergency room, doctors, nurses, and other medical
professionals are obliged to act as quickly and efficiently as
possible. In the rush to save lives, however, miscommunications and
other mistakes may occur, causing serious medical problems. Because of
the delicate nature of the treatment involved, emergency room errors can cause a patient to suffer from a worse condition than they had before their procedure. Emergency room errors can include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Misinterpretation of test results
- Failure to consult a specialist
- Medication errors
- Delays in treatment
- Other causes of injury
If
an injury or death could have been prevented by emergency room
personnel, the care facility, doctors, or other healthcare
professionals should be held accountable. To schedule a free
