Health care personnel are obligated to provide quality treatments to all patients they encounter. Occasionally a medical professional will neglect to follow this oath, and a patient will suffer from problems such as a misdiagnosis, a failure to diagnose an illness, or an incorrect prescription dosage. Nurses, EMTs, and other staff can also commit malpractice by administering the wrong drugs or drug amount or failing to provide care altogether. This can leave a patient to suffer and potentially develop lasting adverse health problems.
