There are many different types of errors that doctors or hospitals can make that are considered medical malpractice. These can include surgical errors, mistakes caused by negligence or misdiagnosis or delay of diagnosis. Surgical errors can be mistakes such as performing surgery on the wrong side of the body or site, making an error during surgery, puncturing an organ during surgery or an anesthesiologist error.
