People have different experiences when they are inside the Emergency Room of a hospital. For doctors, being inside the Emergency Room may be a dream come true as it is the culmination of years of studying medicine; it is the place where they get to put all their training to good use by saving the lives of accident victims.
For patients, being inside the Emergency Room may be a victim’s worst nightmare. People will be running around the Emergency Room floor as well as other adjoining rooms. People will be shouting at each other by dictating the life signs of critical accident victims and the things that have to be done. And other than the pain of wounds, patients may feel the pin pricks of needles, the scraping of endoscopies, and the slicing of scalpels.
And in all this chaos, it is possible that doctors and nurses may end up missing something that is very important for the life of the patient. Someone may miss out on what medicines a patient is allergic to; someone may forget to add enough lubricant to the endoscope; someone may miss that a patient is diabetic and has trouble clotting any type of wound.
Thankfully, Medical negligence claims allow patients who are victims of these errors to claim damages. An allergic reaction to medicines may cause swelling of internal organs; the failure of add enough lubricant can cause wounds in one’s throat; and incisions on diabetics today may lead to amputations tomorrow.
And since all of these will require money for healing, negligence claims prevent the condition of patients from getting any worse.

claiming for compensation from the damages incurred is totally practical..you don't need to suffer all the burden of what the injury has caused you, the person responsible for it needs to pay
ReplyDeleteexactly!, it is everyone's right to claim for compensation for what had happen to them because of someone else's negligence...
ReplyDeletewe also need to consider that the amount of money will not compensate the pain and suffering
ReplyDeleteagreed! that's why is it totally important to seek a medical attention to reliable doctors or go to a hospital that can give you a 100% care..
