Mistakes within hospitals can arise in a number of ways, sometimes without fault and sometimes without causing any harm. On occasion, however, avoidable mistakes are made and they can cost patients their health and even their lives.

Other errors arise due to a failure to treat, for example, failure to note and act upon a patient’s deterioration or a failure to operate or operating wrongly, as well as inadequate post-operative aftercare.

Anaesthetic Nerve & Spinal Cord Injuries
Patients can suffer injuries when anaesthetics are mistakenly injected into the spinal cord or into nerves which results in severe pain and serious disability.
Anaesthetic Brain Damage & Stroke
Serious injuries can arise when anaesthetists make mistakes during operations. For example, failing to regulate blood pressure can result in brain damage or strokes.
Where people are left with severe disabilities following anaesthetic issues it is important to secure compensation; this will help to ensure you or your loved one receives the best quality of life in the future by procuring the best medical care, help with nursing at home, assistance in the household and with daily tasks as well as recovery of lost income.

Clostridium Difficile is a spore-forming bacterium which can cause illness such as diarrhoea and severe inflammation of the bowel when certain antibiotics disturb the balance of “normal” bacteria in the gut.
Symptoms can include fever, decreased appetite, nausea and so on. Some patients can die as a result of complications from this infection.

Sepsis is a common post-operative complication. This is because the patient will have an open wound which is very vulnerable to infection. The skin is a natural defence against bacteria. Once it is cut open, the body will immediately be more susceptible to infection as the wound provides an opportunity for the bacteria to get in.
A diagnosis is crucial and is reliant upon medical practitioners noticing a patient’s symptoms and recognising them as the initial stages of sepsis. Patients must be monitored closely, observing any deterioration in their condition.
Sadly, nurses and doctors do not always spot the early warning signs of sepsis or the change in a patient’s condition is noted but the seriousness of the matter is not appreciated and the patient is left untreated. This can result in significant ill health or even death.
