Serious Back Injuries Like Severed Spinal Cords, Crushed Discs, Bulged Discs, and Herniated Discs Often Require Surgery

The human spinal cord is basically a bundle of nerves which is surrounded by 33 bones or vertebrae.  Located between each vertebrae is a spinal disc which is a liquid filled disc shaped pouch.  These discs are stacked on top of one another and act as shock absorbers allowing the spine to flex, bend, and twist.  When functioning properly, the vertebrae and discs protect the spinal cord allow nerve impulses to travel from and to the brain to other parts of the body.  This allows us to experience sensations, move our bodies, and control many bodily functions.

Problems arise when the vertebrae, discs, or spinal cord are injured.  Broken vertebrae can damage and impinge on discs or the spinal cord causing extreme pain, numbness, and loss of control of bodily functions.  Back injuries can occur through traumatic events that result in paralysis.  Depending where and how severe the injury is will determine what type and how severe the paralysis is.    It will also determine if the back can be repaired including stabilizing the back and stopping any impingement.

In situations where back surgery is recommended, the potential benefits of the surgery and known risks of the surgery should be discussed with the patient. The potential benefits will help a patient understand what they should hope to expect after the surgery. The potential known risks should also be explained so the patient knows the potential dangers of the surgery.

Causes of Texas Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Unfortunately, medical mistakes happen when doctors and nurses get too busy, are understaffed, under the influence of drugs, or are just not paying attention.  As medical budgets go down and healing people becomes more of a "for profit" business, cost cutting measures are causing more medical mistakes.  Overworked surgeons, doctors, residents, and nurses are much more likely to make mistakes than well rested health care professionals.

Medical mistakes also happen more often when no one is watching.  It is extremely important when you are in the hospital to have someone that is with you and watching out for your well being.  This is especially true if you have an allergy to certain types of medicines.  Communication with your health care professionals is also important and can greatly limit medical mistakes.

Further complicated procedures such as spinal cord surgery require extremely competent surgeons that are on the top of their game to successfully complete.  A patient needs to be extremely careful when having spinal cord surgery to make sure that they have a good surgeon and everyone understands the risks of the procedure.  In some cases, even the best surgeons that do everything correctly will have bad results and the spinal cord surgery will fail.  However, at other times a defective product, a "for profit" surgeon or clinic, or a careless surgeon can cause a failed spinal cord surgery that will paralyze a patient for life.

Communication Prevents Many Medical Mistakes

Texas has several hospitals that typically provide quality medical care, but sometimes mistakes are made.  It is always a good idea to have someone that you trust look out when you are in the hospital.  This person can communicate important information regarding your condition and watch out for you when you are in the hospital.  It is important to make sure that you or your medical advocate communicate with health care professionals to limit the mistakes that are made.

However, even with proper communication medical mistakes are made.  If a mistake is made, it is important to report the mistake and if the mistake causes serious injury or death it is important to investigate a potential medical malpractice lawsuit.  This is because medical mistakes that no one knows about will not be noticed and will not result in future better medical care.  Medical mistakes that are reported will help other patients and are an essential part of the feedback needed to improve our health care delivery system.
