Medical Malpractice for Lack of Supervision
We all know this to be true: people who have not been fully trained in something don't have the knowledge and experience to do it alone. Why then, did a resident perform your procedure and not the doctor that you met before you went under? Why did the anesthesiologist, who controls the most dangerous part of surgery, leave the room?
There Is No Excuse for Failure to Supervise
At the Warner Law Offices in Wichita Kansas, we cannot give you a good reason why your doctor failed to supervise your operation, because we do not give excuses for medical malpractice. We hold medical professionals accountable for their negligence.
Dirty Little Secret of Healthcare: Residents (doctors in training) perform surgeries and other procedures on patients unbeknownst to the patients. Some supervising physicians even leave their residents alone while operating on you.
More Than 20 Years of Legal and Medical Experience
Doctors and their insurance companies have medical malpractice attorneys and experts who will pursue their defense aggressively. Don't just hire anyone. Put more than 20 years experience in law and medicine to work for you. One of our team members, Anne Pankratz, is a lawyer and registered nurse. Together, we understand the medical and legal details necessary to build a strong case for you.
Call or e-mail us for representation by an experienced team. We will bring a case against the doctor and the residents who improperly performed your procedure.
Dirty Little Secret of Healthcare: Many times, there is only one anesthesiologist for three or four surgeries. An anesthesia nurse may be the only one in the operating room monitoring the anesthesia.
Avoid Failure-to-Supervise Problems
The medical doctor that you talk to before your surgery may not be the person that performs the surgery. It is not surprising that this can lead to surgical errors.
You can take steps to prevent this type of malpractice:
- Prior to surgery, request that no residents perform your procedures.
- Ask questions. Know who your anesthesiologist is.
- Request that your nurse alert her superiors if the doctor does something improperly or does not pay necessary attention to you.
- Advocate for patient safety.
