Chicago Medical Malpractice and Surgical Errors Lawyer
Surgeons and other medical professionals are responsible for more than performing surgical techniques successfully. They need to administer the proper drugs during surgery. Anesthesia must be administered in the proper dosage and the patient must be properly monitored. And, doctors must correctly diagnosis problems that may occur following the procedure.
Perhaps most importantly, physicians must be adequately familiar with the patient's entire medical history prior to beginning surgical treatment. What drugs have they taken in the past? Are there family medical issues applicable to the ailment and surgery? And what are their vital signs leading up to, during and after the operation? Many very fine surgeons do their job well.
While the vast majority of surgeries are performed correctly and with minimal complications, serious surgical errors occur. Unfortunately, many of these errors are preventable. When surgical errors cause serious harm to you and your loved ones, the Chicago law firm of John Obert-Hong & Associates can help.

- Was a surgical instrument left behind in the body?

- Did hospital or clinic staff administer excessive anesthesia?
- Was a diagnosis missed during or following surgery?
- Did the doctor fail to anticipate a complication despite indicators present in the patient's medical or family history?
- Did you receive appropriate post-operative care?
- Did a preventable infection occur, and was it treated properly?
