In order to prove medical malpractice, we must establish that a doctor patient relationship existed, the doctor acted with negligence and that negligence caused actual harm. Actions that constitute as negligence include failure to diagnose infection during gestation, improper administration of medication, misuse of vacuum extractors and forceps, failure to provide cesarean section when applicable and mishandled C-sections. These and other instances of substandard care can result in cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, Klumpke’s palsy, skull injuries, brain damage, stroke, seizure, facial paralysis, torticollis and a host of other serious conditions.
