Oklahoma Medical Malpractice
While the possibility of making mistakes is part of the human condition, few errors have as many potentially fatal repercussions those that a doctor can make. Statistics published by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) show over 1,000,000 people are permanently injured and an additional 98,000 people killed each year by the mistakes of the medical community. These statistics are not just numbers; the victims have names, faces, and families who must cope with the pain and loss due to medical negligence.
Unfortunately, these specific instances of medical malpractice only reflect a small proportion of the problem. Taking into account other non-clinical settings and unreported incidents, medical negligence takes an expensive toll on taxpayer money and public health. In fact, the problem is so widespread that after this study was published, Congress held several investigative hearings and established a $50 million fund to investigate the medical errors that are speculated to cost the country over 29 billion dollars.
