A hospital is an institution of the highest need. There we go when we feel threatened the most important thing we have; our life. Therefore, one would think that such an essential environment is properly managed and prepared, with responsible professionals and in the hands of whom we place our total trust.
Surgeons, physicians, nurses, and general medical personnel. We place our trust in all of them. We entrust our well-being and our life to them. Reason why they must work responsibly. They are supposed to be highly trained professionals. But what if not?

What is a Medical Malpractice Injury?The Cambridge University Dictionary defines medical malpractice as “the failure of a doctor or other (health) professional to do his or her job with a reasonable degree of skill, especially when that person’s actions or failure to act causes injury or loss”. Therefore, any action that a medical professional is supposed to be taking correctly but whose error causes harm can be categorized as medical malpractice. Obviously, to err is human and doctors do not stop being people, but medical malpractice is more caused by a lack of attention, warning, and interest in the practice and not abiding by the rules.
