Technology has paved way for much advancement, even in the
field of medicines. Regardless of these advancements, a medical surgeon can
still make mistakes during a medical surgery. These mistakes can be due to
negligence, failure to follow the standard of care, inattention or in some
cases, it was unintentional. In any way, the doctor failed to abide by the
rules set by the medical association; rules that are meant to benefit the
patient in very way. But one thing major surgeries or Foot Surgery Malpractice cases have in common is the patients get
hurt or damaged, and in some cases, die due to the negligence.
This is solely the doctor’s fault because he failed in
providing adequate treatment and care which led to such fatal consequences. The
doctor was not attentive enough to figure out where the situation was heading,
or he simply failed to do his job properly.
Over and over, you will get to hear the same thing going on
everywhere. Foot Surgery Malpractice cases
have one thing in common; either the patient bleeds to death because the doctor
did not sew the wound properly, or far worse because of infection. Similar, if
a patient has to go under the knife several times because the doctor was
negligent enough to leave a tool in the body, or he made a silly mistake by
operating the wrong part of the foot and so on. These mistakes cost the patient
and his family, not the medical expert. And what’s left for the victim, a
lifetime of misery, pain and suffering, and in some cases even worse, eternal
sleep.
In this age of advance technology, all of this suffering is
somehow inexcusable. To make the situation even worse, the doctor has this code
of silence. The doctor will never let the patient’s family know that he
committed a mistake during the surgery. Moreover, the Arkansas does the same.
They have this conspiracy of silence that does the real damage. Many times, a Foot Surgery Malpractice is quite
obvious. You can see that the doctor conducted the surgery on the wrong part,
or sewed it incorrectly. But then there are those not so obvious situations
like a tool left inside. What can a victim do at times like this?
