Wide Range of Physician Errors
Physician errors take many forms. Examples of physician errors include diagnostic errors, failure to diagnose, errors in the performance of an operation or procedure, birth injuries, medication errors, surgical tools left inside a patient and inadequate monitoring or follow-up treatment. Each year, thousands of patients suffer unnecessary trauma as well as emotional harm from preventable physician errors.
A landmark report by the U.S. Institute of Medicine found pervasive patient safety problems and estimated there were between 44,000 and 98,000 preventable deaths of hospitalized patients each year in the U.S. Preventable physician errors may occur when patients are hospitalized or treated as out-patients. Doctors in Missouri and Kansas have a legal duty to follow the recognized standard of care in treating patients. When they fail to follow that standard and commit a physician error, the doctor may be liable for malpractice.
