Dangerous medical blunders resulting in death or serious injury more than tripled in Maryland hospitals between 2019 and 2022.
A report from the state shows there were 832 adverse events from October 1 2021 to September 30 2022, which was also the highest since records began in 2004.
Of last year’s incidents, 769 were classified as the most severe, or Level 1 events, defined as adverse incidents that result in death or serious disability.
In one case, a patient went in for surgery on one of his legs and ended up having his other amputated due to a serious medical complication.
In another instance in 2021, three people died after a maintenance worker inadvertently shut off an unlabeled oxygen line.
Another blunder saw a premature infant with a low birth weight given the incorrect dose of steroids for nearly two weeks.
The United States of America, the greatest country in the world, has gone to Hell because of poor leadership from the ground up.
Are we talking about PRMC???
After 15 years of not having ANY doctor visits (They are like car repair shops trying to sell you crap you don’t need),
I had an issue to get attention on, and I cannot believe how much the medical industry has degraded.
Completely incompetent nurses, doctors that are just interested in checking a chart and sending you a bill, unnecessary tests and procedures to run up the bill. The whole system is corrupt!
tidal health?
