The doctor patient relationship is one of the most important relationships in every person’s life. Entrusted with keeping you healthy and acting in your best-interests, your health care provider should always act with utmost care and professionalism. The legal concept of medical malpractice is not limited to the conduct of medical doctors, but applies also to nurses, anesthesiologists, health care facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and others that provide health care services. Injury or death as the result of mishandled procedures is unacceptable.  In the event that your loved one’s or your own care giver fails to act in an appropriate manner and their actions lead to you or your loved one being personally harmed, you could be in need of a medical malpractice lawyer.
