Prior to having surgery, you most likely will research the procedures, side effects of the surgery and even the doctor’s reputation. And while you may be informed about certain aspects of the surgery, one thing you may not be aware of is the possibility for a surgical fire to occur during surgery. Find out more from Texas medical malpractice lawyer Kay Van Wey in this video. Surgeons perform thousands of surgeries each year, and shockingly, surgical fires are very real occurrences that still take place in operating rooms across this nation. Statistics reveal that there are well over 650 surgical fires that are reported each year. Sadly, these surgical fires are preventable but occur due to a doctor, nurse, or anesthesiologist not doing their job correctly. Prior to surgery, you should ask your doctor if he and his surgical team have surgical fire protocols and a plan in place to prevent surgical fires from happening. In order to be an informed consumer, you should order attorney Kay Van Wey’s free book on surgical fires to educate yourself on this very real phenomenon.
