Most patients put all of their trust into the hands of their highly trained healthcare professionals when they seek out medical care. However, patients frequently tend to forgo asking enough questions of their physicians, physician’s assistants, and nurses when it comes time for treatment. They assume that these professionals know what they’re doing and have their patient’s best interest at heart. This trust is often very well earned, but like any profession, mistakes do happen, and patients are usually the ones who suffer most. These errors can lead to unnecessary treatments, additional injuries, further illnesses, or even death.

Defining Medical Negligence in Oklahoma
Medical negligence, also referred to as medical malpractice, involves injuries arising from a medical professional failing to provide the patient with medical care at the acceptable standard established in that particular field.
Common causes of Oklahoma medical negligence and malpractice cases include:
Surgical errors –These include incorrect operations, the removal of the wrong organs or tissues, infection due to a medical workers’ mistake as well as other mistakes
Misdiagnosis –This form of medical negligence can include a failure to thoroughly check a patient’s history before a diagnosis or procedure, not recognizing the obvious signs of an illness, or not ordering needed scans, tests, or blood work.
Hospital-spread Infections– Despite their best efforts, hospitals are not perfectly sanitary, and bacteria thrives in the environments where the ill and injured are prevalent. The most common types of infections found in hospitals are staphylococcus, Mycobacterium abscessus, tuberculosis or TB, and norovirus, among others.
Medication errors –This medical negligence can include prescribing the wrong medication to a patient, failing to review a patient’s medical history prior to providing a prescription, or prescribing a medication that the patient has an allergy to.
