After a patient goes into surgery for a necessary procedure, they will often need special follow-up care. Mistakes with post-surgical care can lead to serious health problems that may require immediate treatment. If a patient develops a complication due to a healthcare practitioner’s poor post-surgical treatment, they may need financial help to address the cost of further treatment.

Health Concerns Caused by Poor Post-surgical Care
Quality post-surgical care is critically important to a patient’s full recovery after a procedure. Even minor procedures require substantial follow-up care to prevent complications that can potentially threaten that patient’s well-being. The following health problems may arise due to poor post-surgical care:
- Infection
- Improper healing
- Damaged sutures
- Post-surgical shock
These complications can potentially threaten a patient’s life if they are not treated quickly and properly. However, this additional treatment may prove prohibitively expensive for many patients, putting an unexpected financial burden on their life.
