Hospital Error Causes
Various factors can lead to hospital errors. It is common for doctors and other medical staff to work long hours and under conditions that are not conducive to providing quality care. Sometimes the hospital will not provide its doctors and nurses with the training and education they need to properly treat patients. A medical malpractice lawsuit may hold the hospital, doctor, or nurse responsible for the error, no matter what the reason.
Common Examples of Hospital Malpractice
Some common types of hospital malpractice include:
- Mistakes in diagnosing or interpreting tests or laboratory results
- Anesthesia errors include incorrect dosages, intubation injuries, and allergic reactions
- A failure to diagnose or treat in a timely manner is considered emergency room malpractice
- Errors involving patients’ medications, including incorrect prescriptions and dosages, errors made during medication administration, and failure to monitor patients

- Negligence in obstetrics, including oxygen deprivation and failure to respond to fetal distress
