Ear, Nose and Throat
Unfortunately hospitals are neither as safe
nor as clean as we would all like them to be.
Medical professionals are over-stretched and
resources are tight.
Please read about:
Surgical procedures are often very
complicated and treatments can be highly technical and complex.
Many of these carry some level of risk and most patients are warned
of these risks before surgery. Sadly mistakes are made by many
medical professionals resulting in pain, heartache and frustration
for victims and their families alike.
Ear Nose
and Throat (ENT)
Many Ear
Nose and Throat departments have a very high workload
resulting in many patients being examined and operated on by
relatively inexperienced doctors.
Inevitably this leads to
sub-standard care, and problems for Ear Nose and
Throat patients.
Conditions that can affect the ears, nose and
throat can include the following:
- Adenoid surgery
- Grommets
- Hearing or Deafness
- Infections of the Ear
- Nasal Polyps
- Perforated Ear Drum
- Sinus Infection
- Tinnitus
- Tonsil Surgery
In some ear nose and
throat operations facial nerve damage may occur. It is possible
that this is a recognised complication of the type of operation,
but it may also be caused through medical negligence.
Ear nose and throat operations may also cause damage to the nerves
linked to the vocal chords, affecting speech. Senses can be
affected, such as the sense of smell, hearing and sight.
An experienced medical negligence solicitor will be able to advise
you on the possibility of bringing a claim if you feel you have
been injured as a result of negligent ear nose and throat
surgery.
