Did You Know?    
 
 
Cosmetic surgery malpractice is a common occurrence
Negligence happens when ill-equipped medical practitioners, like doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals carry out such relatively simple cosmetic procedures like botox injections and forehead lifts. Negligence of this kind is criminal. It can happen to anyone.

 


 

Whenever you go to a Oregon medical professional for consultation or treatment, it is expected that the doctor, nurse, or physician will treat you with the top quality the medical profession demands. Medical Malpractice is a doctor's failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician, surgeon, or any other medical professional would use under routine circumstances.
