When you or someone you love has to have an inpatient stay at a hospital, you probably assume that the medical professionals providing care during that stay won't make mistakes. People expect to receive excellent care and around-the-clock monitoring while staying in a hospital.
However, people in the hospital can find themselves in a variety of dangerous or unpleasant scenarios, often resulting from mistakes made by medical professionals. For example, staff members who don't engage in proper sanitation protocol could bring an illness from one patient into someone else's room and possibly infect them.
