Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The authors examine several cases in which malpractice claims are the result of either poor documentation, lack of preoperative photographs, inadequate informed consent, or poor patient-selection criteria. In each case, they discuss what errors took place and the end result of the claim. The cases presented in the article are intended to help readers avoid potential medical malpractice traps in the future and be diligent with office documentation. |
