A study in the Journal of Patient Safety estimates that hospital errors are now the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind heart disease and cancer, with approximately 440,000 deaths each year.

Sometimes medical mistakes can occur without causing any injury, which would not be a cause for a claim. A doctor or other medical professional either acts or fails to act in a manner consistent with the acceptable standard of care in such a way that causes injury to the patient. The injury must also cause emotional or financial loss in order to satisfy the elements of a medical malpractice claim. Any of these preventable medical errors that cause injury due to the action or inaction of your doctor may be cause to file a medical malpractice claim. 🩺

For nearly four decades now, the country has recognized October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a time annually devoted to educating everyone about breast cancer—including metastatic breast cancer (MBC)—and the importance of early detection and timely, high-quality care.

💕Know Your Risk
Knowing your family history is lifesaving. Talk to a doctor about your family history and see how that history impacts your risk of breast cancer. You and your doctor can create a personalized plan to monitor for signs of the disease.

💕Get Screened
For those at average risk, have a mammogram every year starting at age 40. If there are any signs of breast cancer, finding it early and treating it early may save your life.

💕Know Your Normal
It’s important to know what’s normal for you, so if something doesn’t look or feel right, you can notify your health care provider.
