Emergency departments like the one at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia see severely injured patients every day. The significant injuries these people are already facing can amplify the seriousness of any medical mistake.
The law requires emergency rooms and hospitals across the country to provide medical care to those who are critically injured, regardless of their ability to pay. The Emergency Medical and Active Treatment Act, or EMTALA, is aimed at reducing discrimination in hospitals from administrators and doctors who might turn critically ill patients away simply because of the cost of care. If hospitals lack the facilities to treat these patients, they must transfer them to facilities that can.
Medical malpractice in emergency rooms can take various forms. A doctor who turns away a critically injured or ill patient may be violating federal law as well as committing a grievous medical error. A hospital that allows patients, conditions to deteriorate as they wait for care may be negligent. So can a doctor, diagnostic technician, or other healthcare professionals who make mistakes in diagnosing or treating your condition or prescribing appropriate medications.
