If a medical mistake is to happen, it has a higher chance of happening in the ER. One mistake could cost your life.<\/p>\n
There are times in just about everyone\u2019s life where they need a trip to the ER. The thing is, once we get there, we have no control over who we get for a doctor and sometimes we do not even have a chance to give our consent in some instances. Emergencies do happen and sometimes the niceties of life are not observed when a life hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n
With an emergency going on, it is not too surprising that mistakes can be made. Those mistakes may result in further serious injury or death. There are a variety of emergency room errors, but there are three fairly common ones: misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose or messing up test results. Mistakes in these areas have really serious consequences.<\/p>\n
