When a doctor prescribes a medication, it is imperative that you get exactly what is ordered. Many drugs can be incredibly strong or can have terrible side effects if not properly used. Because of this, nurses and pharmacists must pay close attention to what they are doing.

If you are prescribed a medication, but given the incorrect drug or a dose of the correct drug that is too large or small, the effects can be deadly. Even if taking the wrong medication does not kill you, the side effects can be harmful and dangerous.

Medical malpractice is often thought of as something that takes place when doctors or medical professionals take action in a way that goes against common medical opinion. However, this is not always the case.

Malpractice can also be an inaction. If a doctor knows that a patient would benefit from a treatment, but does not administer it or even mention it to that patient, that doctor is negligent in his or her inaction.
