There are usually multiple medical devices used to treat a condition. Patients have the right to know their options, risks and benefits associated with each device. Surgeons should not be beholden to one brand or size. Patients also should be informed if there have been device failures, or recalls and if the device is “experimental.” Generally speaking, patient success is directly related to how much experience a surgeon has.
Common problems that may be medical malpractice:
The preservation of a device is a crucial step if you are considering litigation to pursue compensation. Any device removed from your body is your property, and you have the right to tell facilities to preserve or deliver it to a chosen location. However, you must be warned that some doctors have their patients sign general release forms, relinquishing their rights to the implant.
