Florida Wrong-side Surgery News
More wrong-site, wrong-side, wrong-patient and wrong-procedure news from around the nation. As the subject is explored and the "time-out" discussed sooner or later these incidents should greatly diminish. At least that's the hope. So button up your lip doc and just do the time-out.Category: Keyword Search: time-out
No more wrong-site surgeries – PLEASE!
Here are the stories I’ve found this week about wrong-site, wrong-procedure and wrong-patient surgeries. Do the time-out and it’s not likely the surgeon and surgical team will have one. That’s good because then you don’t have to put up with lawyers and insurance companies and the hospital’s legal department.Category: Keyword Search: time-out
Wrong-site Surgery Study from ARCH
In today’s blog we have an interesting reference site about wrong-site, wrong-patient and wrong-procedure surgeries. The Renal & Urology News site has an interesting article dated January 5, 2011 titled, Wrong-Site, Wrong-Patient Surgeries Found to Persist, By Ann w. Latner, JD. In the article Ms. Latner discussed a study that considered the insurance losses for 6,000 patient errors in Colorado between 2002 and 2008. Imagine this is only Colorado. The causes might surprise you.Category: Keyword Search: time-out
Can nurses be liable for an unconsented surgery?
What duty does a nurse have to report unconsented surgical procedures? This might seem like an odd question to pose. Since all surgery is supposed to be only by consent, why would anyone ask about a nurse’s duty to report unconsented surgical procedures? In 30 years of practicing law I’ve run into a several cases involving unconsented surgeries. I’ve seen several reports on the IB as well and as taxpayer that is paying for this nonsense I think we all need to question why.Category: Keyword Search: time-out
