to provide the patient with proper medication.
With hospitals being full almost every day, it is
hard to imagine that everything is done
flawlessly. Mistakes do happen, and when they do,
someone ends up with a catastrophic
injury. Medical malpractice happens on a daily
basis. In the United States alone, there are over
400,000 court cases of medical malpractice each
year. Almost one-half of all those cases are
related to medication errors.
