What Mistakes Are Done?
Leaving an instrument inside the body of the patient; How does that happen? Well, pure negligence. When the surgeon is trying to hurry the surgery and is not paying attention. Some things that can be left inside are sponges, clamps, tubes, and many more.
Removal of an Organ That Was Not Foreseen; Sometimes the surgeon wants to go above and beyond by trying to repair or correct. The other reason is simply due to recklessness.
Performing Surgery On Wrong Patient or with Wrong Information; We understand that hospitals are often times very busy, but it is no excuse to perform such a huge mistake like this. You might be going in for heart surgery, and coming out with only one kidney. What a scary thought!
Injuring of a Nerve; This can be a cause for concern because it can create you further problems than you are already facing.
The Administration of Took much or Too Little Anesthesia; I’ve always thought about what would happen if someone woke up during an operation? Or could feel every cut on their body but couldn’t speak, and even suffer paralysis from improper application such as, an epidural.
These are just some mistakes that can happen from a surgical negligence.
Why Do these Mistakes Happen?
Usage of drugs or Alcohol During Surgery; Some surgeons turn to these methods to relieve the stress that their job gives them. It is shocking to think that a surgeon would actually undergo an operation while being under the influence, but frightfully, it happens.
Extreme Exhaustion by The Surgeon; Surgeons work extremely long shifts, and sometimes do not even sleep within a 24-hour time frame. Extreme exhaustion leads to not performing up to standards. Everyone needs a good night’s rest to function at a 100% capacity.
Poor or Miscommunication by the Surgeon and Staff; Communication is key during a surgery, and if the surgeon fails to communicate properly with his team, then many errors can occur. Surgeons and staff need to make sure that all the equipment necessary is on hand, that the right site is marked for surgery, and that the correct medication is administered during the process.
These are just some reason why these surgical errors occurred when they could have been prevented.
