Medical
professionals are required to follow this “standard of care,”
meaning providing treatment that other licensed professionals in
that field would have reasonably provided under the same or similar
circumstances. Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional
fails to treat a patient as another doctor would have reasonably treated
the patient under the same or similar circumstances. These departures from good
and accepted standards of care can result in serious injury, or
even worse, death. A bad result is not necessarily malpractice;
however, a deviation from accepted standards of care can result
in medical malpractice.
