slide 1: Medical Mistakes
Can Be Bizarre And
Routine
slide 2: We know that you are likely aware by now that
medical mistakes are a bigger problem in this
country than most people realized. Johns
Hopkins researchers say that as many as
250000 people lose their lives each year due to
errors made by healthcare professionals.
slide 3: What Happens In The ER
Anytime a person undergoes a surgical procedure no matter
how minor or major there are going to be risks involved. If you
have ever had surgery then you are aware that your doctors and
surgeons are going to explain all of the risks to you and ask for
your consent to operate. However there are times when
surgeons or the people on their operating team make major
errors that are outside of the risks you knew about.
slide 4: Other Medical Mistakes
Other medical mistakes that are fairly common include:
Mistakes made
with patient
medications. This
can include wrong
dosages not giving
a patient their
correct meds or
not giving them
meds at all.
A misdiagnosis can
mean a person is
never treated or
gets delayed
treatment for their
injury or illness.
Healthcare-
acquired infections
are often the result
of protocols not
being followed.
