Emergency Room Errors - Physician Malpractice Attorney in Arizona
Hospital emergency rooms are often crowded and understaffed. The Center for Disease Control National Center for Health Statistics 2003 data showed almost 120 million total hospital visits, 42 million of which were emergency room admissions. Patients needing immediate, critical care enter into this environment expecting exemplary care. Unfortunately, errors occur and serious injuries and death result.
Common emergency room errors include:
- Failure to fully evaluate or treat a patient’s condition
- Late or wrong diagnosis
- Faulty laboratory tests
- Contaminated blood transfusions
- Prescribing wrong medication
