Hospital emergency rooms are among the most stressful workplaces to work in America. Doctors, nurses, even patients may take pride in the standard of care in our hospitals, but the failure to exercise a degree of reasonable care in emergency rooms happens more often than one might think.
In Scranton, PA, the attorneys of Munley, Munley & Cartwright understand that rapid and specific treatment is essential for a patient who presents at a hospital emergency room. However, inaction or inappropriate action in the emergency room ruins thousands of lives every year. In addition, a shortage of certified emergency-room physicians compounds the problem.
It is essential that emergency-room patients receive rapid and specific treatment. Some conditions that result in long term pain, disability or death could have been prevented by prompt and competent action by the ER staff and doctors.
“Standard of Care” is the basic measurement of the adequacy of medical care. The “standard of care" is the recognized procedure for diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries. While the law recognizes that doctors, nurses and other medical providers do not guarantee successful treatment, it does require that medical practitioners provide proper care to their patients.
If the care provided does not meet the standard, medical providers, including doctors, nurses and hospitals, are liable for the injuries and harm that result. These damages include loss of wages, additional medical treatment, and pain and suffering caused by negligent medical care.
