Beyond the Diagnosis: Navigating Medical Malpractice Claims in America

In January 2023, the popular eye drop solution, EzriCare Artificial Tears, was discovered to contain a dangerous pathogen, leaving unsuspecting users at risk of serious eye infections that could lead to permanent eye damage or blindness. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration issued a nationwide recall, and the contaminated eye drops have been linked to at least 55 reports of adverse events, including eye infections, permanent loss of vision, and death from a bloodstream infection. In this podcast, we discuss the dangers of the contaminated eye drops, the symptoms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections, and how to seek medical attention. We also explore the legal process and your options for seeking compensation, including the eligibility to file a lawsuit. Although the Hastings Law Firm is mentioned as one option for legal guidance, we also discuss other resources available for those affected by this crisis.

There are many checks and processes a surgeon must adhere to during an operation, including ensuring that all tools and implements are accounted for. This is to make sure a stray sponge or pair of tongs has not been left in your body after the surgery.

Sometimes if an operation is rushed or the surgeon is lacking in concentration, the incision is sewn closed with a tool or implement left inside. Many serious complications can develop, such as blood infections or organ damage, and this may result in you needing another operation or urgent medical treatment. If you find out that your surgeon has left something behind after your operation, our Houston lawyers at Hastings Law Firm can assist with your negligence case.

Tommy Hastings has represented clients throughout Texas for over 15 years in the area of malpractice pursuing fair and full compensation for the injury or loss suffered.

A prostate operation, also called a prostatectomy, is now often completed via a da Vinci operation robot and not by the previously used laparoscopic procedure. More than 85% of prostatectomies are completed via robotic surgery. However, often the surgeon only practices operating the robot for one or two days before their first operation, as opposed to the in-depth education normally required for a surgery.

The efficiency and cost of robotic surgeries is now under scrutiny as an increasing amount of injuries are resulting from this method of operating. A Houston lawyer familiar in dealing with surgical mistakes can help you if you think that you have been negligently injured during a prostate operation.

Tommy Hastings of Hastings Law Firm has worked for over 15 years representing those who have suffered as a result of negligence to make the responsible doctors and hospitals account for their actions.

Texas residents should be aware of the potential dangers involving prescription medications.

According to the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, as many as one and a half million people are affected by prescription drug injuries every year in the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, indicates that this number is not accurate. The FDA asserts that a large number of medication errors go completely unreported. For this reason, the full number of injuries associated with drug errors may be much higher than the 1.5 million figure cited by the AMCP.

Psychology Today notes that on a list that identifies the top causes of medical malpractice in the country, medication mistakes come in at number four. That is among other forms of malpractice such as missed or incorrect diagnoses, inappropriate treatment regimes, surgical mistakes, and more.

Staying safe can be a matter of life and death when prescription drugs are involved. Anytime an error involving a medication is suspected, a Texas resident should reach out to an experienced lawyer for help. The medical negligence attorneys at Hastings Law Firm can help you get justice. Our Attorneys Help Victims of Prescription Drug Side Effects and Recalls Across Texas.

Being told that you have a life-altering disease is difficult news to receive. This is made far worse if you discover that your doctor should have diagnosed the symptoms a lot sooner when your care could have been far less costly and intrusive.

Medical practitioners are trained to make a diagnosis by ordering tests, reviewing symptoms, and researching to understand what is wrong with you. However, if your doctor fails in their duty of care to make the correct diagnosis; your life may be in jeopardy. Most frequently, the error is a result of miscommunication between medical professionals, including those in charge of testing you. For example, your GP may not be aware of a discovery made by your radiologist or a lab test may show results that are not noticed by the lab worker.

Some other frequent errors are:

Failure to order any tests

Failure to act on a patient’s complaints

Failure to screen regularly for certain conditions — especially in high-risk patients

While staying in the hospital, we expect to receive the necessary medical care to make us feel better. It is an unfortunate fact that many hospitals host a variety of bacteria and viruses that can lead to infection. Even though hospital staff tries to safeguard against infection, it is not unusual that a sick person becomes more ill during their hospital stay after obtaining a hospital-borne illness.

Our Houston Attorneys Can Assist If You Have Developed an Infection during Your Hospital Stay.

Tommy Hastings of Hastings Law Firm is a board-certified personal injury attorney committed to assisting those who have suffered as a result of medical negligence throughout Texas.

Medical centers should be clean and hygienic areas. Sadly, this is often not the case. A report by The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that per year, almost 2 million Americans contract an infection during their hospital stay resulting in an increase in almost $45 billion in medical expenses.

Infections that can be contracted in medical centers include:

Norovirus

Bacterial infections

Influenza (flu)

Bloodstream infections

Pneumonia

Clostridium difficile (C-diff)

Surgical site infections

Often medical professionals do not identify that a patient has contracted an infection in time. This gives the infection time to become worse, often after the person has been discharged from the hospital. This leaves the person undergoing medical care for health issues that should not have occurred.

We have expert witnesses who will analyze your circumstances and promptly determine how an error was made. We seek the highest compensation from the responsible parties and the relevant insurance providers.

Our Lawyers Hold Medical Establishments Responsible For Preventable Infections. At The Hastings Law Firm, we are experienced in the area of medical negligence cases across Texas.

Most gall bladder patients undergo a procedure known as a laparoscopic. A small cut is made and the surgeon slips the tools through the cut to complete the operation. Surgeons should have the ability to do this without causing unnecessary harm. However, often surgeons may lack the proper training or experience a lapse in concentration during the operation. This can cause further injuries such as:

Damage to the common bile duct or hepatic duct

Bile leaks

Nicks to arteries or other organs

Bowel perforations

Bleeding

Infections

Liver damage

Death

All surgery comes with risks. However, one of those risks should not be having surgery performed unnecessarily or on the wrong part of the body. Surgical teams are required to read charts, confirm that they know they’re working on the correct patient, the correct area, and check-in with each other before cutting into a patient. When they fail to take these precautions, you can end up with a very expensive surgery that doesn’t solve your problem and may cause others. If you have been the victim of surgical errors, our Houston medical malpractice lawyers can help.

Several years ago, the commission that accredits U.S. hospitals created the Universal Protocol for Preventing Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, and Wrong Person Surgery. To follow this protocol, doctors and their surgical teams are required to:

Ensure that the doctor is matched with the correct patient and is performing surgery on the correct part of the body prior to beginning any part of the procedure

Have the surgeon mark the part of the body that is to be operated on

Have a timeout for the entire team prior to beginning surgery to confirm that they have the correct patient and are performing the correct surgery on the right part of the body

When doctors fail to do this and operate on the wrong part of the body, you end up dealing with negative results. We can help you hold them accountable for their negligence.

Injuries Caused by Medical Robots during surgical Operations Are Avoidable. The da Vinci robot is reputed to be one of the most advanced pieces of medical technology in recent times. It is said to complete some types of operations more accurately than laparoscopic procedures and it has been marketed to surgeons all over the United States.

Unfortunately, both injury and death have resulted during many robot-operated procedures. This may be due to the doctor not having sufficient time to practice with the robot before operating.

Our attorneys handle Medically Negligent Robotic Surgery Injury Lawsuits across Texas.

By understanding the impact this negligent mistake has had on you and your family, we feel the incentive to fight all the more diligently to ensure you obtain justice.

Robotic Surgeries come with complications. A common issue of robotic surgeries is that they remove the physical connection between the doctor and the body. The operation is performed with the surgeon viewing everything through a camera and operating robotic arms and foot pedals. The surgeon may not notice if the body sends a subtle message that a complication has arisen. If the use of the robot results in harm, severe repercussions can develop, such as a perforated organ or even loss of life.

Our attorneys discuss your case with surgical specialists to pinpoint where the negligent error occurred during the robot-operated procedure. We have in-depth knowledge in the area of medical malpractice and are skilled in discovering negligent mistakes. Doctors and hospitals are experienced in building strong defenses and excuses to avoid liability for medical malpractice.

We have come to rely on medication as a quick solution to serious illnesses or injuries. Sometimes, however, a medical practitioner will be heavy-handed in providing prescriptions or worse, provide unregulated prescriptions. If someone becomes too reliant on prescription medication, severe health issues or loss of life can follow. Doctors should be made to account for their irresponsible actions. Our Houston Attorneys Handle Prescription Drug Error Lawsuits across Texas.

A “pill mill” is a place where medications are prescribed for cash, whether the medication is necessary or not. Tommy Hastings of Hastings Law Firm in Houston has succeeded in shutting down at least one of these “pill mills”.

Tommy has secured millions of dollars on behalf of his clients for the damage caused to them. He is held in high regard by both his colleagues and opponents for his work in “pill mill” cases and in the general area of medical negligence.

Some medical professionals do not have any issue in charging a co-pay to prescribe medication, whether the medication is necessary or not. Under these circumstances, a doctor may provide an incorrect prescription or bad medicinal advice. This can cause the person to develop severe health issues, addiction, or worse, lose their life. Some medications that are often prescribed inappropriately include:

Xanax

Narcotics

Norco

Hydrocodone

Lortab

Relaxation and anxiety medications

OxyContin
