You trust your doctor with your health, as well as the health of your family members in many cases. You depend on them to diagnose your symptoms as they arise and to help you connect with treatments that will work.
Most medical practitioners are diligent in staying up-to-date on the most cutting-edge treatments and ensuring that they adhere to the best practices when it comes to diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries. Still, doctors, surgeons and other medical professionals are all human, which means they are prone to errors in judgment, exhaustion and oversight or forgetfulness, which can lead to claims of medical malpractice.
