Imagine this: you go in to have surgery, and the surgery for your original problem goes fine; however, you come out of the surgery with an entirely new issue. Unfortunately, doctors make mistakes and there is a possibility for a medical mistake to lead to a completely different set of problems for a patient. These problems could range from being minor and treatable at home to something more serious that results in a serious medical condition or requires another surgery or ultimately, leads to that patient's immediate death.
