Servicing Kingston and all of Ontario

Kingston’s role as a centre for medical training and services is an immense source of pride for residents. When a city is host to a teaching hospital and school of medicine it is fostering an environment where future doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are able to learn and practice their craft for the benefit of the local population and all of Ontario.

Part of this learning process involves understanding the standards of care every patient is entitled to while under the care of medical practitioners and facilities. If this standard of care is breached through negligence and a patient suffers a serious injury, medical malpractice has occurred.

How Prevalent Are Medical Errors?

Sadly, in hospitals and medical facilities across Canada, as many as 70,000 patients suffer from preventable adverse events every year. Studies suggest 7.5 percent of all patients, and 9.2 percent of child patients, will experience adverse events in acute-care hospitals. Forty percent of these events are deemed to be preventable.

Unfortunately, even as a centre for medical excellence, Kingston is not immune to its share of these devastating events. From medication errors, to acquired brain injuries, to spinal cord damage, to birth injuries, medical malpractice can cause severe pain and suffering for people who expected and deserved a certain level of care they did not receive.
