Podiatry malpractice is quite common these days. But many people are not aware of the mistakes podiatrists make. Some are common and people can find out easily about these mistakes, and based on them, the victims can file a Podiatrist Malpractice lawsuit against the foot doctor.
- Unnecessary Surgery: Incorrect diagnose can lead to a lot of problems. If the doctor is not careful from the beginning and he makes a mistake in identifying the problem, then the entire treatment will be wrong and can be fatal to the health and wellbeing of the person. Also, incorrect diagnosis can lead to unnecessary surgery. This shows the surgeon’s incompetency. There are also a number of factors like the patient being greedy or the surgeon is successful in convincing the patient that surgery is the only way to go. - Surgery Of Wrong Site: Usually what happens is the surgeon conducts surgery of the wrong foot or any wrong site of the foot. This is a common mistake many foot doctors make and this can be the cause of a Podiatrist Malpractice lawsuit against them. When the wrong site is operated, it can be the cause of removal of healthy organs or they can get damaged. - Internal Organ Damage: When a surgeon is operating, he can sometimes perforate or puncture a healthy organ, muscle or tissue in the body. - Forgetting Instruments Inside The Body: Usually doctors forget instruments inside the human body after the surgery. They are not careful and they leave a tool or medical instrument inside that can lead to further damage or cause harm to the patient. - Complications And Infections: Before conducting any surgery, doctor’s need to assure that the medical instruments are perfectly sterilized. If not, they can transfer bacteria to the patients during the surgical procedure. The surgical team should also be very careful and should wash properly before they touch the tools and instruments. Surgeries can be a complicated procedure. If the doctors are not careful before and after, it can lead to further damage and complications. When the patient feels he has been mistreated, he can sue the doctor for all the damages done to him and claim compensation. The doctors, in order to avoid any Podiatrist Malpractice lawsuit against them, should take all precautionary measures.
