It’s easy to think that, behind the scenes, the pharmaceutical industry and the medical field have everything under control and all of their ducks in a row. They paint a lovely facade to give you this sense of security. Plenty of white walls and clean-looking areas. Computers and logistical systems. Employees who seem trained and knowledgeable about all of the critical medical elements they are supposed to know.
But in the end, all of this means nothing when you consider that medication errors and logistical mistakes happen all the time in the medical field. For example, getting a prescription seems simple. A doctor checks your medical condition, fills out a prescription, and you take it to your nearby pharmacy which gives you the necessary medicine.
However, so many things can go wrong with that seemingly-simple process. The doctor may have prescribed the wrong medicine, and you wouldn’t know any better. The pharmacist you talk to may have given you the wrong medicine because he or she wasn’t paying attention. The pharmacy’s computer system could fail, potentially creating complications with your prescription or medication.
Even your doctor or hospital could make a critical mistake with logistics, such as not properly filing out your medical record, which could cause complications down the road.
The point is that little mistakes in the world of medicine rarely yield anything but major problems for patients. When these mistakes — and the likely major problems they are often associated with — hurt you, you need legal help. And at Fronzuto Law Group, we can provide you with the experience, knowledge, and most importantly the help, that you need.
