Medical malpractice involves the failure of a healthcare professional to meet the required standard of care for their patient. This “standard of care” represents the minimum level of acceptable treatment necessary for a patient’s condition. Healthcare providers must base their decisions on the best available data to ensure the most appropriate treatments for medical conditions and patient symptoms. Negligence arises when healthcare providers do not adhere to the reasonable and prudent established medical practices, thereby breaching their duty of care. If this breach results in injury or worsens an illness, it qualifies as medical malpractice, as outlined in the Maryland Annotated Code, Courts and Judicial Proceedings §3-2A.
Medical malpractice encompasses various situations, such as doctors failing to diagnose a medical condition, surgeons performing unindicated medical procedures, or prescribing incorrect medications.
