Things to Consider if You Suspect
Surgical Malpractice:

• Don’t be afraid to consult with a different surgeon for a second opinion. Preferably, a surgeon that is not in the same medical practice as your surgeon or perhaps even a surgeon in a different but nearby city if possible.

• Always try to have someone with you when you are speaking with your surgeon. Two sets of ears and eyes are better than one. If appropriate, take photos and notes, and, in general, document everything whenever possible.

• Contact my office as soon as possible. Do not delay. Your initial consultation is free of charge.

• In the realm of surgical malpractice, some specific types of negligence seem to occur more frequently than others.

• Many surgical errors involve causing damage to an organ that is near the organ that the surgeon is addressing. Especially in cases where the surgeon fails to address the damage.

• Sometimes a clamp or stitch is used on a body part that shouldn’t have been interfered with.

• Failing to remove surgical instruments or sponges after surgery is another all too common occurrence. 

• Central line infections are highly preventable when following a “checklist” approach but still occur with alarming regularity.
