Medical Malpractice – Pulmonary Embolism
One of the leading causes of preventable death in the hospital is a pulmonary embolism, or blood clot in the lungs. The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism are very clear and if a doctor or nurse fails to recognize these symptoms in time it is possible that a patient can suffer severe brain injury or even death. If you have a loved one that has died because of a preventable pulmonary embolism in the hospital, please contact an experienced wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. Thousands of people die from medical malpractice in our country each year.
Birth Control and Pulmonary Embolism
If you take birth control pills, especially Yaz or Yasmin, your risk of experiencing a pulmonary embolism is highly increased. Birth control pills increase the potassium levels in your bloodstream, making blood clots more common. If these blood clots dislodge they can travel to the heart, lungs, or brain causing severe brain damage, heart attacks, or death. Please consult a qualified medical malpractice or personal injury attorney if you are on birth control and you have experienced any of these side effects.
