Common Mistakes In The Operating Room

A patient’s health and life are potentially at stake every time he or she goes under the knife. When a surgeon makes a mistake, the patient’s well-being may be in serious jeopardy. The truth is, surgical errors happen much more often than doctors would like to admit. Common surgical errors include:
Operating on the wrong body part; e.g., the left lung instead of the right
Leaving surgical tools inside the body
Performing the wrong operation or mixing up patients

When A Surgeon Makes A Mistake, The Patient Suffers

The consequences of this type of medical malpractice can be severe. The patient can suffer delays in needed medical care, allowing his or her condition to worsen. More directly, mistakes by the surgical team can lead to you suffering severed nerves, infection after surgery and other damage to your health.

As your attorney, Edward Lee will take on the surgeons and facilities that carelessly allowed you to suffer harm. We will investigate how the error occurred and who is potentially legally responsible. We have gotten maximum compensation for many victims of surgical error.
