Maximizing Compensation For Emergency Room Errors
When a person is taken to the emergency room, or decides to go on his or her own, there is obviously a serious medical concern. The need for focused care at such an important time is often critical. However, understaffing issues, the volume of patients and in many situations, the lack of a long term doctor-patient relationship may all lead to oversights or other medical mistakes.
For instance, a patient experiencing chest pain may get a medical review that suggests something as minor as indigestion. The patient is sent home, only to find that the medical testing and diagnostic procedures were inadequate to diagnose a serious heart condition. Mistakes may involve improper triage measures, creating delays in treatment before an acute medical condition turns into a life-threatening situation.
