If emergency room errors at an Idaho VA or military facility hurt you, you have legal rights. The Federal Tort Claims Act protects you.

What Causes Emergency Room Errors at Idaho Military & VA Hospitals?

Failure to Properly Triage Patients: Staff may wrongly rank urgent cases as low priority, delaying care for heart attacks or strokes.
Misdiagnosis of Emergency Conditions: Doctors sometimes miss serious problems by not ordering the right tests or misreading symptoms.
Medication Errors in Emergency Settings: Wrong medicines or doses can cause severe reactions or death.
Failure to Monitor Vital Signs: Poor patient monitoring can miss dangerous changes in condition.
Delayed Treatment of Time-Sensitive Conditions: Not treating urgent cases quickly can lead to disability or death.
Inadequate Communication Between Staff: Poor handoffs between medical staff can lead to mistakes.
