Insurance Coverage And Medical Care At Hospitals
Hospitals are places of business. Whether they are for-profit or not-for-profit organization, they must maintain a bottom line in order to keep their doors open.

However, this can sometimes dictate the kind of care a patient receives.

How Common Are Surgical Errors?
When it comes to surgical procedures, you often have no choice but to trust your physician. While you may feel nervous going into the operation, the fact that the doctor may make a life-threatening mistake might never cross your mind. The truth is that surgical errors are made across the country every day. No state, even Maryland, is immune from this danger.
While efforts are continually being made to reduce the number of mistakes, these continue to occur. Common reasons for errors include assistants who are too scared to speak up, inattention, improper marking of surgical sites and communication lapses.
How Do Hospital Errors Occur?
Some hospitals may choose to cut corners on staffing in order to increase profits. This leads to tasks being performed by unqualified or under-qualified nurses, doctors, surgeons, or other professionals. If one is not qualified to complete a task, the margin of error exponentially increases. Errors also occur when staff members and medical professionals are overworked and fatigued.
