Are You at Risk of Medical Malpractice during Brain Surgery in Kansas City?

At Roswold Law Group, we know having surgery, even a minor procedure, can be one of the most stressful and scary times during recover from a serious injury, especially a traumatic brain injury.  You want to believe you can trust your doctor or surgeon to do what is best, what is right and get it done safely the first time.  Can you imagine having surgery done to your brain or skull and having one of the surgeons leave a piece of the drill lodged in your skull?  Yikes, indeed.

 

That is the situation a brain injury patient in Rhode Island Hospital is dealing with, unfortunately.  The hospital is being investigated after a neurosurgeon accidentally left a 1/4" drill bit in a patients skull during a surgical procedure on August 4, 2010.  The hospital removed the drill bit piece two days later and has since suspended the surgeon and surgical staff involved in the incident.

 

The experienced Kansas and Missouri Medical Malpractice Attorneys know that people have a hard enough time trusting their doctors and surgeons these days without having to worry about possible medical malpractice.  But it seems like every time you turn around, you hear about a hospital that has not only made a mistake but has done so repeatedly in the past.  The best way to handle your situation is to inform yourself as much as you can.  Ask plenty of questions to all doctors, nurses and surgeons assisting in your procedure.  The more you know, the more you will be able to identify problems after the operation.

 

If you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury as the direct result of a mistake made during a medical procedure or surgery and you feel the doctor is at fault for your condition, you may have rights the insurance companies aren't telling you about.  You need someone in your corner you can trust to give it to you straight.  Contact the Kansas City Personal Injury Lawyers of Roswold Law Group.
