Making one mistake isn’t usually a huge problem in most circumstances, but it is disastrous when the mistake is fatal and was caused by another person’s negligence.
Medical malpractice occurs when a trusted doctor or hospital fails to uphold a set standard of care for a patient. A misdiagnosis, wrongly prescribed medication, early discharge, or delayed treatment could all lead to medical malpractice. The injuries that result from these careless mistakes are painful, emotionally exhausting, time consuming, and expensive. That’s where the Pennsylvania medical malpractice lawyers at Lundy Law come in.

Steps to Take to Avoid Medical Malpractice
According to the Institute of Medicine, the following procedures can be used to guard yourself against becoming a victim of medical malpractice.
- At Home
Keep a list of all prescriptions, supplements, and vitamins you take. Share the list with your physician. - At the Pharmacy
Be sure to compare your prescription with the drugs and directions you are given at the pharmacy. For added precaution, ask the pharmacist to review the prescription and directions. If there is any confusion, ask questions and request written directions. - Outpatient Care
Have a drug prescriber write down all relevant information about the prescription for you, including side effects and proper use. - Inpatient Care
Don’t take any medication without first being informed of the drug’s purpose by your doctor or nurse. Be sure to monitor your medication use. Before a surgery or after a patient discharge, have the doctor explain any medications you should be using. Also, go over directions for use and any potential side effects.
