Not Failing When Doctors Fail


There really is such a thing as maternal instinct. Any mother will vouch for that. We reach out to snuggle our newborn baby and form a special mother-child bond right from the get go. Mothers are first to know when their baby is crying or ill and will be there for him to comfort and help heal him.

New mothers will also be the first to admit that they certainly don't have a corner on all the knowledge required to keep their baby happy and well. Her instincts will tell her something is wrong, but not always how to set it right. This is when she will turn to her baby's doctor for help. After all, this is what they toiled away for eight years in medical school to do.

Sad but true, some of those doctors after spending all that time and stress to become leaders in the medical field of their choice stop learning. They do not keep up with the latest in medical technology. When this occurs, they start making grievous errors. When an accountant or soccer coach makes an error, there will be hell to pay, but unlike a doctor's mistake, it won't be fatal.

Television abounds with ads that tell you if you took a certain drug while pregnant and your child suffered birth defects to call the advertised attorney to join a class action suit. Pregnant mothers and their unborn infants are unusually vulnerable to drug side effects. Everything that enters mommy also enters unborn baby. Doctors are aware of this and prescribe any drug carefully and with some reluctance. Some doctors, that is. The ones that keep current in their field of medicine are aware, others may not be.

When a doctor's mistake turns into a birth defect involving your infant, it is time call an attorney. You should do this not because the attorney can heal your baby, no one can, but a good attorney can fight for you to secure money for the continuing medical care your baby will require perhaps for the rest of his life. Raising a sick child with special needs is demanding enough without stressing also over mounting medical bills.

A strong law firm on your side will fight to get you money that will help pay for any medical bills you or your child might need, and compensation for the income lost when a parent is no longer able to work because they need to be with their child. Lawyers know how difficult this situation can be so they work hard to get you the money you will need to care for your child. They know how to use the legal system to your advantage so they can get you as much money as possible.

Parents love and protect their children and make things right when they go wrong. There are times when we just can't do it alone because we do not have expertise in the area where we need it. This is when friends, family and doctors come in. We trust doctors to do no harm to us or our child. When this trust is broken it is time to turn to the legal experts.

We did not fail as parents. The doctor failed us. The best thing to do now for our afflicted baby is to hire a reputable law firm specializing in malpractice law. They will be on our side fighting for the right of our child to give him the best care he can get.
