Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice has become a very serious problem. As the 5th leading cause of death, it kills more patients each year than pneumonia, diabetes, or Alzheimer's. We define medical error as a mistake made by a health care professional. This mistake may result in injury or death. Medical Malpractice usually happens when the medical standards of practice are not met. When medical standards are met, such errors rarely occur. When a medical professional fails to act according to these standards, it is considered negligence.
