Wichita Anesthesiology Errors & Malpractice Lawyers
Typically, when people seek medical care, they put all of their trust into the health care system. If surgery is required, a patient may know the surgeon's name. However, it is unlikely that the patient knows the name of the anesthesiologist.
Most people don't need to know it because everything goes smoothly. Unfortunately, not every surgery goes smoothly. Sometimes medical errors are made. Sometimes, it's the anesthesiologist that makes them.
At the Warner Law Office in Wichita, Kansas, our lawyers have more than 20 years of experience. We have the experience to hold anesthesiologists accountable when they cause harm to their patients.
Anesthesia Errors Come in Many Forms
Our attorneys are able to handle any medical error case involving anesthesia negligence. Some examples of these cases include:
- Patients being kept anesthetized for too long, resulting in permanent brain damage
- Allergic reactions leading to serious medical conditions because the wrong type of anesthetic was used
- Mental anguish caused by being taken off anesthesia too early during a surgical procedure
- Patients who never woke up after surgery due to an error on the part of the anesthesiologist
No matter what type of medical malpractice took place, if it involved an anesthesia error, you can be confident that we can represent you effectively.
Investigating the Complex Issue of Anesthesia
Anesthesia is no simple matter. The anesthesiologist needs to carefully determine how to proceed based on the patient's height, weight, the type of surgery being conducted and a wide range of other factors. Essentially, they need to bring a patient to the brink of death by using medication, before safely returning them to consciousness.
While this is a complicated issue, there is no excuse for medical errors. There is no excuse for understaffing that forces one anesthesiologist to oversee multiple surgeries at one time while an untrained assistant helped out. There is no excuse for a highly trained and compensated professional to make a preventable mistake.
We will hold them accountable and seek maximum compensation for you.
