Define Malpractice?

If your surgeon  new he made a mistake but had know other choice during the procedure in operating room so he did the next best thing but now things got worst but his correcting the problem, are u suppose to do anything or does things happen human error? now that im missing work due to this unexpected occurrence is he suppose to compensate me for loss of wages or pain and suffering?  or is this all just part of the risk you take with plastic surgery?? 

Usually when you sign the consent for surgery, the possible problems are listed and discussed. 

Malpractice is when a doctor acts in a negligent way or an unethical way.  Things happen, complications happen with every surgery.  Sometimes, there is no rhyme or reason for a complication, it's the risk you take when you have a procedure done.

Of course, many attorneys will try to tell you that they can sue for most anything - they think doctors' and their malpractice insurance have deep pockets. 

Having elective surgery or any surgery for that matter, it should be understood that risks can and often do happen.  Did your doctor act in a way that was against "standard practice?"  In other words, if any other prudent surgeon was in the OR with your case, would they have done the same?

ok so if he cut off more skin then he was suppose too how does that make it a complication? if he didnt cut to much skin i wouldnt be in this pickle now.. ok yes i understand things happen and the risk but if he said he cut to much off what does that mean? thats not my fault..

On the arm if too much is cut off, it makes the skin too tight for normal mobility so the incision line opens.  Is that what happened with your arm?

Yes i beleive so thats what happened thats y he had to make two incisions on arm and apparently it wasnt healing and somehow just opened over time and what he was having me do wrapping withh zerform just wasnt cutting it ,, it got worst so thats why i ran to the er and they admit cause it was that bad.. 

so im getting copies of all paperwork everything explaining what has happen. i no u said it has to be define malpractice will how do u do that the dr certainly isnt gonna admit to that so how does this start who defines that? also no cosmetic insurnace doesnt cover wage loss

dont know if last message went threw.. was saying thanks for listening and helping me understand im just getting a little worried.

Well I did speak with someone unfortulely this is just one side of having surgery we know the risk were taking things happen, yep theres nothing that can be done . so i will have to suffer until iget this wound vac on so i can get back to work . so u were right...thanks again.
