While the human body is a miracle of amazingly created parts that function perfectly when working as intended, it's also true that errors in treatment can throw the system off so drastically as to cause permanent damage. There are many medical malpractice examples which illustrate that fact. Using an anesthesia in surgery that was known to have caused problems in the past can make a patient sick or even die. During a delivery of a baby, the baby develops complications and requires a c-section. The doctor delays the procedure and the baby is born permanently disabled with cerebral palsy. These are just two examples of medical malpractice that can happen in an instant. A doctor must be prepared to respond properly. If they do not, the patient or their family should seek compensation through a medical malpractice suit before the statute of limitations runs out.
