The following are some common types of surgical errors: • Surgical foreign body — a surgical tool or aid left inside a patient • Medical misdiagnosis • Errors in the administration of anesthesia or medication • The wrong surgery, or surgery other than what was determined to be medically appropriate • Unnecessary surgery If you live in North Carolina and want to discuss possible medical malpractice claims, contact the lawyers at Melrose, Seago & Lay today.
