The medical field has had many advances in medicine over the recent years, but it is still possible that surgeries can go wrong. Surgical errors can happen for a variety of reasons, and the consequences to the victim can range from minor pain, to permanent injury, to something as serious as death. It has been estimated that 195,000 people sadly die each year because of surgical errors made that should have been prevented. So many things can go wrong in the operating room including wrong dosage of anesthesia, damage caused to tissue, and in some extreme cases, the person may get operated in the entirely wrong spot of their body! It is important to understand that even though you may sign a consent form, you are not signing away your right to quality and diligent care.
