 Medical Malpractice Medical malpractice, is generally defined as the negligent or incorrect performance of the professional duties of doctors, health care providers such as nurses and institutions including hospitals. It is a departure by a physician or hospital from accepted medical levels of care. In other words, the care is below what other doctors or hospitals would provide. The definition is also relative. The medical skill and knowledge expected of doctors will depend on the particular practice specialties they have and the geographic area or community where the doctor practices. In other words what may be medical malpractice in Boston may not be in Montana. However, certain standards exist throughout the United States. Malpractice can happen in a number of ways. Emergency rooms have the highest percentage of negligence. The reasons for this are relatively obvious. Since many people with life-threatening conditions first arrive at Emergency Department, the staff often has significant time constraints, especially in a busy emergency room. If the symptoms are of a relatively infrequent condition or more often and atypical presentation of a common condition, a medical error can occur. The most frequent causes of errors are a mistaken diagnosis and delayed or lack of treatment. Sometimes, even if a correct diagnosis is made the physician doesn't follow a proper course of treatment.
