Physicians in New Mexico who choose obstetrics and gynecology as a specialty typically understand that they must care for their primary patients and their unborn children before and during delivery. There are certain protocols in place to which physicians must adhere during the birthing process. When they are not followed, terrible circumstances can occur. Recently, three women have filed medical malpractice claims against one physician whose actions they feel caused the death of one baby and significant neurological damage to two others.

Doctor's medical malpractice includes making his own vaccines
For many people, home remedies are the first choice for common ailments. Additionally, people in New Mexico and elsewhere spend a small fortune on vitamins and supplements to enhance their health and stave off disease. However, when a person goes to the doctor for an illness or other complaint, he or she expects the treatment to be medically sound and governmentally approved. If it is not and the patient suffers because of the treatment, the doctor risks a medical malpractice claim.
