Visits to the emergency room during moments of urgent medical crisis require the highest standards of care from doctors and nurses. However, the fast-paced nature and frequent overcrowding common in ERs often contribute to serious errors being made.
When overwhelmed ER physicians and nurses fail to order the right diagnostic tests, correctly interpret results, provide accurate diagnoses, and promptly administer proper treatment, patients can suffer greatly.
Preventable medical mistakes like traumatic misdiagnoses, unsafe discharge, medication mishaps, and delayed emergency interventions directly put vulnerable patients at risk of disability, declined health, excruciating pain, and even premature death.
