Did you lose a loved one because someone working at a hospital failed to tend to them in an adequate amount of time? If so, our Utah medical malpractice lawyers would love to help assist you in filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against the negligent facility who failed you and your family.
Another contributing factor that adds to this statistic is that those admitted into the hospital aren’t speaking up enough. You or a family member who is present in the hospital should be active in any procedures, surgeries, or medicines being prescribed. Some questions webmd.com recommends that you or a family member should ask when a nurse or other doctor attempts to give you medicine include:
- What is this for?
- What can I expect in terms of responding?
- Will this interact negatively with any other medications I am taking?
Sadly, many doctors and nurses neglect to ask patients what types of vitamins, supplements, and medicines they are taking, as well as if they a pregnant, and this can be a huge concern for anyone, especially someone already suffering from a life-threatening illness.
While we should be able to rely on the health care professionals who have had adequate training to provide us with the necessary care and medication to help remedy our illness, we can’t. If you have found that a doctor or hospital prescribed you something that didn’t quite go together, you may have a reasonable medical malpractice claim.
