Most surgeons and surgical nurses are extremely well-trained, competent and caring people. They are, however, human, and occasionally make a mistake that causes serious injury to a patient:
-
Cut an artery or vein;
-
Place an IV in the wrong location;
-
Administer the wrong anesthetic, or give too much;
-
Damage surrounding organs;
-
Fail to recognize and repair injuries during surgery;
-
Operate on the wrong leg, arm, etc.;
-
Keep you in a position during surgery too long, causing nerve injuries;
