Vaginal Mesh- History of the Problem

Between the years of 2005 and 2010, nearly 4,000 vaginal mesh injuries have been reported to the Food and Drug Administration. In a 2010 article in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, researchers stated that they had to cease a vaginal mesh clinical trial early because of the higher-than-expected number of complications and injuries. The trial was stopped when it was discovered that more than 15 percent of women who were implanted with vaginal mesh suffered vaginal mesh erosion within only three months of implantation. As a result of numerous negative reports, the FDA issued a vaginal mesh warning to patients and physicians in 2011, cautioning that the risks of using vaginal mesh are so severe that alternative treatments should be considered. It is now widely accepted that, in most cases, pelvic organ prolapsed can be treated without the use of vaginal mesh

Errors that occur during surgery, such as corrective degenerative or herniated disc surgery, or any operation near or on the spine, can severely damage spinal nerves leading to life-long, permanent consequences. If a spine injury is not properly treated by a doctor, nurse or hospital staff, the individual may suffer more serious personal injury, including paralysis or even death, as a direct result of medical malpractice.

Cancer Misdiagnosis Malpractice Lawyers

Written by

Cancer misdiagnosis malpractice lawyers should be contacted if your cancer has been wrongly diasgnosed 800 733-5342

Cancer misdiagnosis is on the rise, despite innovative medical advances. In fact, every year an estimated 12% of cancer cases or one of every 8 are initially misdiagnosed. While a cancer misdiagnosis can cause tremendous pain, fear, stress and financial loss, it also substantially reduces a patient’s chances for full recovery and survival. Medical advances in MRIs and x-rays provide patients with an increased chance at a full recovery; however, a full, healthy recovery depends on a timely diagnosis and proper treatment. A negligently delayed diagnosis of cancer can result in the spread of the disease to a point beyond which medical intervention can help. The progression of cancer can lead to a substantial increase in medical bills, pain and suffering, personal injury and wrongful death.

As a result of medical malpractice, cancer is often misdiagnosed as a cyst, chronic fatigue, graves disease, oral thrust, leukoplakia, dermatitis, halitosis, gastroparesis or anorexia nervosa. Mistakes that malpractice lawyers actions for include:

  • Breast cancer
  • Prostate cancer
  • Kidney cancer
  • Brain cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Leukemia

Cancer Misdiagnosis malpractice lawyers have filed following causes of action in cancer diagnosis mistakes

  • Failure to order or follow up on tests, including a biopsy
  • Mistakenly diagnosing a tumor as benign
  • Mistakenly diagnosing a tumor as a cyst or an infection
  • Ignoring common symptoms of cancer, such as fatigue
  • Failure to identify lumps
  • Failure to follow-up with a patient
  • Misinterpretation of test results.

Call The attorney referral service at 800 733-5342 for a cancer misdiagnosis malpractice lawyer

Alternatively, patients might be incorrectly diagnosed with cancer, resulting in tremendous pain and suffering caused by unnecessary surgery, radiation and extensive chemotherapy.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of cancer diagnosis error and resulting medical malpractice, you may be entitled to damages including medical expenses, lost wages and other compensation.

Cerebral palsy is not a particular disease but is a term used to describe brain damage in babies found at birth or shortly thereafter. Many times cerebral palsy is due to genetic abnormalities or unavoidable injuries that occur during pregnancy but well before the onset of labor. However, about one third of cerebral palsy is caused by not enough oxygen getting to the baby during the labor process. It is negligent when nurses or doctors don t recognize in time that a baby is in trouble, or don t remove the baby promptly (usually by Caesarian section). Sometimes negligence happens when the medications used to increase contractions is used wrongly and deprives the baby of oxygen

Cerebral Palsy is a common form of a disorder that exists either before birth or at birth, also known as a congenital disorder. Sometimes referred to as CP, it can be attributed to a lack of muscle tone and motor skills. Cerebral palsy can also lead to a variety of other medical problems. This includes problems associated with one’s vision, speech, hearing, and ability to learn. No cure exists for this condition; however a person living with the disorder can be helped with therapy, treatment, special equipment, and sometimes surgery.

Types of Cerebral Palsy

  • spastic cerebral palsy: can result in difficulty with movement and stiffness
  • athetoid cerebral palsy: uncontrollable and involuntary movement
  • ataxic cerebral palsy: directly affects one’s balance and depth perception

Because Cerebral Palsy affects muscle control and movement, it is difficult to control simple movements and hard to stand still. It is not a disorder that worsens over time, although some crucial functions are affected when someone has Cerebral Palsy. This includes breathing, eating, learning, and control over bladder and bowel movements.

Causes Of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy results from injury suffered to specific areas of a developing brain. The injury can happen early on in a pregnancy, during birth, or within the first few years of one’s life. Between 10 and 20 percent of all children who have Cerebral Palsy acquire the disorder after they are born; however the majority of cases involve incidents that take place during pregnancy or at the time of birth. In cases involving children born with Cerebral Palsy, the causes can sometimes be attributed to an avoidable incident that happened before or during birth. When this occurs, medical malpractice or negligence may play a significant role in an infant developing cerebral palsy. An example of this type of negligent behavior is, if the physician or nurse does not do their job properly or take the necessary precautions and an infant does not receive enough oxygen during delivery. This is unacceptable behavior for any member of medical staff, further legal action is highly recommended.

Cerebral palsy falls under an intricate aspect of law due to the fact that there are countless things that still haven’t been figured out pertaining to the disorder. Because of this, qualified testimony is essential to assist in establishing a case. If you believe your child is suffering from Cerebral Palsy on account of negligent behavior from hospital or medical staff, we encourage you to contact the cerebral palsey medical malpractice lawyers at 800 733 5342.

Radiology Malpractice Lawsuits

Written by

Radiologists are medical specialists that evaluate and interpret diagnostic films, including sonograms, mammograms, MRIs, CT Scans, ultrasounds and x-rays. The large majority of hospital patients, regardless of their reason for admittance, depend on a radiologist’s interpretation of their films for proper diagnosis and treatment. Consequently, inexperience, error and misinterpretation can have tragic consequences, including severe personal injury and wrongful death.

A diagnostic error can delay appropriate treatment of the patient’s condition. For example, delayed diagnosis of cancer can result in the spread of the disease beyond the point in which medical intervention can help. The progression of a disease can result in more medical bills and pain and suffering for the patient and his or her loved ones. Such errors are especially likely in overworked and understaffed radiology departments, or when images of inferior quality are used for the diagnosis.

Some potential misinterpretations of sonograms, mammograms, MRIs, CT Scans, ultrasounds, and x-rays include:

  • Failure to diagnose a fracture of the arm, wrist, leg, spine, hip or ribs
  • Failure to diagnose the presence of cancer or tumors,
  • Failure to diagnose an ulcer,
  • Failure to diagnose intestinal perforations or internal bleeding,failure to diagnose
  • Failure to diagnose organ perforations,
  • Failure to diagnose prenatal conditions

Surprisingly, despite medical advancement, claims for errors in radiology film interpretations are on the rise in the state of Florida. Recovery for theses type of claims is often significant, because the injuries as the result of diagnostic error are potentially life-threatening. Many of the medical injuries resulting from radiology errors are financially, physically and emotionally exhausting. That s why an experienced Florida attorney is an invaluable resource for patients and loved ones in need.

Patients trust their doctors to prescribe the proper drugs for their health conditions. However, due to improper diagnosis or negligence by the pharmacy, hospital staff or doctor, the wrong dose or medication is often prescribed. The stressful nature of the medical profession in which doctors, especially emergency room physicians, see numerous patients every day makes this an all-too-common occurrence. These prescription medication errors can result in serious personal injury and death.

If you ve been injured because you were given the wrong drug or an incorrect dosage, you need to know your legal options.

According to an Institute of Medicine report, between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths may result each year from medical errors in hospitals alone and more than 7,000 deaths each year are related to medications. The FDA evaluated reports of fatal medication errors that it received in a five-year period and found that the most common types of errors involved administering an improper dose (41 percent), giving the wrong drug (16 percent), and using the wrong route of administration (16 percent).

The most common medication errors concern the type and dose of prescription medications. Specifically, a doctor might prescribe or a pharmacy might fill the incorrect amount of a drug or the wrong drug for a particular disorder or disease. Medication and prescription-related errors in Florida include:

* Patient’s medical history-related errors: A patient’s medical history must be understood to prescribe the correct medication. Allergies, age, weight, previous conditions and lab tests are all crucial factors in determining appropriate medication.

* Misplaced decimal points: A doctor can very easily prescribe the wrong amount of medication simply by placing the dosage decimal point in the wrong place, leading to under-treatment or, even worse, an overdose.

* Drug name confusion and illegible handwriting: A doctor must clearly write or abbreviate the appropriate medication to be filled. Any errors can result in improper medication which may have tragic consequences.

* Confusing packaging: There have been well-publicized cases of overdoses among infants who received adult doses of drugs because of similarities in the packaging between infant and adult products. Lawyers for medical malpractice also include medication error.

While the correct medication may effectively treat the patient’s condition, improper medication can be deadly. Many common injuries caused by medication or surgical implantation errors include:

  • Incontinence
  • Impotence
  • Disfiguring skin eruptions
  • Stroke
  • Coma
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Respiratory problems
  • Organ failure or organ damage
  • Allergic reaction
  • Neurological damage
  • Brain injury
  • Overdose
  • Prescription addiction
  • Sensory damage
  • Hemorrhaging
  • Psychological impairment (including depression)
  • Failure to locate and remove a medical device.
  • The improper insertion of an IUD
  • The improper implantation of a Vaginal mesh product
  • The impropere implantation of a hip replacement
  • The improper implantation of a cardiac devise

One of the most common forms of medical malpractice is an error or mistake in diagnosis. An improper diagnosis occurs when a doctor fails to identify the presence of a disease or notes the presence of a disease when the patient is in fact healthy. Diseases that go undetected can result in debilitating and permanent personal injury or even death. For example, a delayed diagnosis of cancer can result in the spread of the disease to a point beyond which medical intervention can help. The progression of a disease can result in substantially higher medical bills, pain and suffering for the patient and his or her loved ones and even death.

Diseases and injuries that are commonly misdiagnosed include:

* Ovarian cancer

* Stroke

* Heart disease, including acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)

* Diabetes

* Lung cancer

* Pulmonary embolism

* Testicular cancer

* Bacterial meningitis

* Cervical cancer

* Prostate cancer

* Breast cancer

* Tuberculosis

* Sepsis

The failure to diagnosis a condition may be caused by improper treatment and testing or by the failure to recognize a patient’s symptoms due to lack of experience, competence, or attentiveness on the part of the doctor, nurse or other hospital staff. While even doctors make mistakes, patients should not have to pay the physical and financial price for those errors.
