Hepatologist Medical Malpractice

Hepatologists are Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.). Hepatology is considered a specialized field of medicine that requires additional training through a residency and fellowship program. Doctors in these areas also take part in gastroenterology programs and fellowships that offer 1-3 years of special training in managing these specific types of diseases.

Despite all of this education and training, Hepatologists are commonly the cause of patient harm as the result of medical malpractice. Hepatologists commit medical malpractice in some of the common following ways:

• Misdiagnosis: The liver is an incredibly important organ, so when a Hepatologist misdiagnosis or misses a diagnosis of a liver condition, the consequences can be incredibly serious, or even fatal. Misdiagnosis constitutes medical malpractice in many cases.
• Cancer Care: Liver cancer, and cancers of other related organs, can significantly affect a person’s life. Proper treatment is necessary to protect the life and well-being of the patient. If a Hepatologist fails to adequately or properly treat the cancer, the result could be death or loss of an organ.
• Hepatitis Treatment: A common and dangerous condition that Hepatologists treat is Hepatitis. Hepatitis B is the most common liver infection in the world and can be dangerous because patients may not even know they have it. Hepatologists should be able to identify and diagnose issues related to the liver, including by treating hepatitis patients to protect their health and lives.
• Improper Prescribing: If a Hepatologist fails to prescribe a proper medication, or prescribes a dangerous dose of a drug, that doctor should be held responsible for the mistake. Improper prescribing can lead to serious injury or even death for a patient.
