Cardiovascular Surgery Malpractice
Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego holds the distinguished honor of being the first hospital established in San Diego County, with its founding dating back to 1890. This historic institution has been providing exceptional healthcare services to the San Diego community for over 130 years, making it one of the most experienced and trusted medical facilities in Southern California. Located in the vibrant Hillcrest neighborhood near the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Washington Street, the hospital has grown from its humble beginnings into a modern, full-service medical center with 482 licensed beds.
Psychiatric Care Negligence
The inpatient mental health unit may encounter malpractice issues including patient suicide, medication errors with psychiatric drugs, inadequate monitoring of high-risk patients, or negligent discharge planning. Psychiatric malpractice cases often involve complex causation issues and significant emotional damages.
Laboratory Errors
As the regional laboratory hub, diagnostic errors may occur involving misidentified specimens, contaminated samples, delayed reporting of critical results, or technical equipment failures. Laboratory errors can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment throughout the healthcare network.
Regional Referral Complications
Serving as a regional referral center increases complexity and malpractice exposure. Issues may include inadequate communication with referring physicians, delays in emergency transfers, or complications during high-risk procedures that local hospitals cannot perform.
Maternity Care Issues
Despite innovative programs like CenteringPregnancy, obstetric malpractice can occur involving failure to monitor high-risk pregnancies, delayed cesarean sections, medication errors during labor, or inadequate neonatal resuscitation. Group prenatal care models may present unique liability issues.
