Why Cardiologists Get Sued
Why do cardiologists get sued, and how do heart patients get injured? A study of 429 closed cardiology malpractice claims by The Doctors Company, the nation’s largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer, revealed the most common patient allegations in these claims and the most common factors that contribute to patient injury. The goal of the study was to alert physicians and patients to the most common risks and areas for improved patient safety.
