What should I do if I suspect a surgical error or medical malpractice occurred?

If you suspect medical malpractice, you should take immediate steps to protect your health and your potential legal claim: 1. Seek immediate corrective medical attention from an independent physician to address your injuries. 2. Request copies of all relevant medical records and imaging. 3. Keep a detailed, dated journal of your symptoms and physical limitations. 4. Consult an attorney before discussing the matter with the hospital's risk management department.
