The Doctor Isn't Always Right
- Did you have surgery, only to discover that your surgeon: left something inside your body, operated on the wrong body part, or made other surgical errors?
- Did your child suffer a birth injury because your OB/GYN: didn't perform an emergency C-section, negligently used forceps or vacuum extraction during the delivery, or failed to adequately monitor you or your child during labor or in the delivery room?
- Did a loved one die because of a hospital error or emergency room mistake?
We trust doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to help us stay healthy and to treat us when we are sick. It can be very distressing to be hurt by negligence of the very people we trusted to protect us.
