Surgical Malpractice Attorneys NY
One disturbing form of surgical malpractice that has been getting significant attention from NY attorneys recently involves the performance of cosmetic surgery procedures by practitioners who are not properly equipped or qualified to perform them. Even a relatively simple procedure such as a botox injection can lead to disaster if it is performed by a practitioner who is not fully qualified for this purpose. Such under-qualified practitioners may include doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists or other healthcare providers.
Regardless of whether the practitioner in question is trying to profit by misrepresenting his qualifications or simply trying to provide a convenience for you as his patience, he may be crossing a critical line. Performing a medical procedure without the proper equipment and qualifications constitutes gross negligence. In many cases, it also constitutes criminal behavior under NY law. As a patient, you should report this activity immediately to an attorney.
