Like in many facets of life, technology has been incorporated to ensure that we have an easier time completing tasks and producing more without the prospect of human error marring what we develop. For as much as technology has become a part of major surgeries, complications can still occur if a physician operator makes mistakes. In these instances, should a medical device maker be held liable?
Should hospitals be held liable for technology credentialing ?
Should some brain injuries be treated differently?
Brain injuries, regardless of how they are suffered, are serious injuries and should be treated as such. However, the way they are diagnosed (and eventually treated) may be fraught with hazards since different types of brain injuries register different symptoms.
How equipment issues can lead to medical malpractice
Medical malpractice cases are commonly based on a physician’s failure to use reasonable care when diagnosing or treating a patient. When you think of malpractice, it is common to consider events where surgical tools are left inside a patient’s body or events where a patient is left unattended for extended amounts of time. Of course, these are the incidents that grab headlines, but they are not the only instances of medical negligence that can harm a patient.
Why a doctor's duty is important
