MEDICAL MALPRACTICE -
POST SURGICAL INFECTIONS
It is not necessarily negligent to contract an infection during surgery.
However, medical negligence occurs when the doctor fails to make a timely
diagnosis of an infectious process and intervene before severe damage
is done. Chest and abdominal infections are particularly worrisome.
They require careful monitoring of the signs and symptoms of infection
such as temperature, white blood cell count, presence of pus, and other
factors. If these signs and symptoms are present and are not aggressively
worked up, the infection can spread and can lead to a permanent disability
and even death.
