Infections lead to malpractice
When medical malpractice makes headlines, it usually focuses on big mistakes: unnecessary surgery, mistaken prescriptions, etc. However, a major source of medical malpractice is simple infections people get while in the hospital. As we report on our Web site, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that healthcare-associated infections occur at an annual rate of 1.7 million and contribute to 99,000 deaths each year.
