An otolaryngologist is a type of doctor specializing in the care and treatment of patients with injuries, diseases, disorders, or other conditions of the ear, nose, throat, or other related structures in the neck, face, mouth, or head. These types of physicians are known more commonly known as ear, norse, and throat doctors, or ENTs. This type of physician performs many very necessary and important procedures to help patients who are in great pain.
However, when an ENT makes a mistake, it can result in very serious injury or suffering to a patient. This is particularly true because ENTs are performing procedures, surgeries, and otherwise treating conditions in a very visible area of the body—the head and face. This not only means injuries here are extremely painful, but it also means that injuries here are extremely embarrassing and can result in serious physical as well as emotional pain and suffering.
Both St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota have a large collection of medical providers, hospitals, and medical offices. There are a lot of ENTs who competently perform wonderful surgeries for patients. However, there are some ENT procedures or surgeries which do not go as wonderful. Some common types of procedures and surgeries which may be caused by ENT medical malpractice includes the following:
When an ENT fails to properly treat any of the above conditions, or fails to treat any other condition, complaint, or ailment you go to an ENT for, there could be a medical malpractice claim to speak with a Minneapolis medical malpractice lawyer about to learn your rights. When in doubt, it is always important to speak with a trained lawyer because these types of injuries to the ears, nose, or throat can be permanent, incredibly painful, and extremely debilitating for months, years, or even a lifetime.
