San Francisco, California (CaymanMama.com) — Emergency rooms are usually the first door through which a patient enters a hospital seeking medical attention. In some cases, unknowingly yet willingly, a patient will let an the doctor on duty handle their injury in the hope of getting the best medical attention. Unfortunately, these emergency rooms are the places where the most critical errors take place.

This is the first step for patients and their families to witness and suffer from the horrors of medical errors which range from hospitalization partial and permanent injury to wrongful death due to medical malpractice.

Emergency rooms are the places in hospitals that are most crowded but detrimentally understaffed. Attending doctors and other medial staff might be under-trained to attend to countless emergencies. In addition, doctors can overlook medical issues in order to attend to the volume of patients during a limited time.

San Francisco personal injury and medical malpractice attorney Mary Alexander explains that the injury can be caused due to the neglect of untrained staff or overlooked by the doctors on duty in the emergency rooms can be any of the following:

- Non monitoring of the patient
- Wrong diagnoses
- Late diagnoses
- Wrong or inappropriate treatment
- Administering of inappropriate doses
- Lab test errors
- Over dosage

Nearly 50% of emergency room cases end up as a medical malpractice cases. Patients entering with small or insignificant problems end up with major health issues. All such patients need to get the rightful compensation for the medical malpractice problems faced by them.
