5. Errors in Medication Administration
According to Nolo and a study from 2006, medication errors harm nearly 1.5 million people in the U.S. every year, and 4% of doctors in the Medscape study named this as one of the most common malpractice suits. Medication errors vary from the initial prescription to the administration of the drug, but often they include dosage errors. If a patient gets too little or too much of a drug, he can suffer serious consequences.
