It occurs every day all over the world. Recently on the Today Show Dr. Jerome Groopman described the current problems with modern medicine. One typical problem was failure of doctors to listen to the patient. Dr. Groopman stated that doctors stop listening to the patient after about 18 seconds. Dr. Groopman continued by stating,"15-20% of people are misdiagnosed and in half those cases the result was real harm to the patient." These so called "thinking errors" can lead to tremendous hardship for patients and their families.

• (medical negligence also includes the actions of nurses and aftercare specialists

Many of these acts will only be determined to be negligence upon a showing that a physician's acts have fallen below the level of acceptable care. This means that if the normal procedure that a doctor should have performed was not performed and as a result an injury has occurred. We represent individuals and families injury by medical negligence.
