Minnesota Emergency Room Errors

Visiting the emergency room of a hospital can be a painful and stressful experience for anyone. Every year there are about 100 million visits to the emergency room. Studies have shown that emergency room errors can happen at any stage of the patient’s emergency visit and these errors happens everyday. One of the most common mistakes in the emergency room result from failure to run the correct tests. The lack of properly testing a patient can have a serious consequence because treatment is critical to a good outcome for the patient.

Doctors and nurses that don’t take the required steps to fully evaluate a patient’s condition in order to make the correct analysis and give appropriate treatment can be legally negligent and liable for damages. The fact is that emergency room errors are caused by the negligence of the medical professionals.

Staffing shortages and badly equipped emergency rooms can make an extreme stressful working environment for practicing doctors and staff. Some patients wait for many hours and most of the time there are not enough doctors or nurses to treat them all in an effective and timely fashion. We know the emergency rooms are often busy, but that is not a good reason to offer less than acceptable medical care. Doctor’s failure to review patient’s history, properly test, and failure to give the right treatment can cause serious injuries or even death.
