Emergency Room Mistakes: A Matter of Life and Death

In critical moments, the expertise of emergency room doctors can mean the difference between life and death. Patients who arrive at emergency departments expect rapid and accurate assessments from medical professionals trained to handle the most urgent health crises. However, mistakes can occur, often with devastating consequences. At Goldberg Legal, we understand the gravity of these situations and the impact they can have on patients and their families.

Upholding High Standards of Emergency Care

Despite the chaotic nature of emergency rooms, every patient deserves the highest standard of care. Our firm believes that emergency physicians must avoid rushed judgments, ensuring each patient receives the attention and treatment they merit. Timely detection and treatment of life-threatening conditions are crucial, yet failures in these critical areas can lead to irreversible damage or loss of life.

Common Emergency Room Errors Include:

  • Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of a life-threatening condition
  • Inadequate patient history and physical examination
  • Disregarding significant signs and symptoms as minor or psychological
  • Ignoring the concerns raised by family members or accompanying persons
  • Neglecting to perform necessary diagnostic tests
  • Misinterpretation of lab results, EKGs, or radiology findings
  • Lack of consultation with appropriate specialists
  • Premature discharge of a patient in critical condition
  • Providing incorrect or unclear discharge instructions
