Medical Malpractice
As patients, we put our trust into doctors, nurses and medical facilities. We trust that these medical professionals will have the knowledge, expertise and composure to provide the proper care. Likewise, we trust that the medical facilities we enter are well-equipped to ensure our safety and allow medical professionals to properly do their jobs.
Unfortunately, there are many ways a patient can fall victim to further personal injury than when he initially entered the care of the medical professional even from the simplest of medical procedures. When medical professionals provide negligent or substandard care for a patient or act improperly as a result of carelessness or ignorance, and the patient is injured as a result, medical malpractice has occurred.
Individual medical professionals can be held liable for medical malpractice as well as entire medical facilities including hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. Within hospitals, emergency rooms can be especially vulnerable to medical malpractice, particularly if the ERs are understaffed or ill-equipped. Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics can make costly and even grave medical mistakes that lead to malpractice. Nursing homes that do not provide adequate food, shelter, supervision, medical care, etc. can also be targets of medical malpractice lawsuits.

So You Want to be a Doctor the Future for Physicians
Employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to grow faster than average for all occupations through the year 2014 due to continued expansion of health care industries. The growing and aging population will drive overall growth in the demand for physician services, as consumers continue to demand high levels of care using the latest technologies, diagnostic tests, and therapies. In addition to employment growth, job openings will result from the need to replace physicians and surgeons who retire over the 2004-14 period.

Physicians and surgeons serve a fundamental role in our society and have an effect upon all our lives.
Few fields offer a wider variety of opportunities. Most doctors’ professional lives are filled with caring for people and continuously learning more about the human body.
