Types of Doctor Errors

Although no one wants to think about it, there are multiple mistakes doctors may make when they are treating patients. The most common of these include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: A delayed diagnosis occurs when doctors eventually make the right diagnosis, but they do not do so in a timely manner. By the time they provide the right diagnosis, a patient could have already suffered great harm. A misdiagnosis occurs when doctors fail to properly diagnose a condition altogether, which can also result in significant harm to patients.
  • Medication mistakes: Medication mistakes are quite common and they include prescribing an incorrect dosage, prescribing a medication to the wrong patient, prescribing a medicine to a patient when they are allergic to it, and more.
  • Birth injuries: Both the mother and the infant can suffer serious injuries in the labor or delivery room. These include failing to use forceps properly, failing to monitor the mother or child, delaying a necessary C-section or ordering one when it is unnecessary.
  • Surgical mistakes: Surgery is already a frightening prospect, but it is much worse when errors are made. Anyone on the surgical team may leave a tool inside of a patient, operate on the wrong body part or the wrong patient, or fail to provide the right post-operative care.

Not All Mistakes are Medical Malpractice

It is important to know that not every unsuccessful medical result is due to medical malpractice. When diagnosing patients and treating certain conditions, doctors often have to use a trial and error approach. If one tactic does not work, doctors may try another. This does not necessarily mean that malpractice occurred but rather, that the doctor had to rule out other conditions the patient could reasonably be suffering from.

To determine if medical malpractice occurred, you must determine that the doctor was negligent, or that they did not provide proper care. Essentially, you must show that another doctor would have acted differently in the same situation. Under Florida law, you must file a certificate of merit along with your claim. The certificate is a statement from another doctor in the same field stating that they would not have taken the same action as the defendant.
