  • A patient schedules an appointment with their doctor. Although the patient is showing symptoms of cancer, the doctor fails to notice the warning signs. The patient isn’t diagnosed with cancer for six more months. By then, the cancer has spread.
  • Following a routine medical appointment, a doctor orders a medication. However, the pharmacy dispenses the wrong dose. The patient has side effects because of the medication error.
  • A surgeon leaves a sponge or instrument in a patient after surgery.
