Arizona surgical patients may be happy to learn that researchers from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland have created a handbook with the potential to make surgeries safer. They spent 12 years as a part of the group in testing and developing a system that focuses on the non-technical skills of surgeons and operating room staff.
Arizona patients may be interested to learn about a medical malpractice case that recently was decided in New Jersey by that state’s Supreme Court. In that decision, the court ruled that patients may sue hospitals which employ uninsured or inadequately insured doctors if the hospitals failed to conduct due diligence in determining the insurance status of the doctors they employed.
