Abstract:
This article outlines the major causes of malpractice suits, focusing on those in obstetrical practice and reviewing the prime areas in antepartum and intrapartum care. Understanding the basic elements of medical malpractice allows a provider to better understand the nature of a suit for medical negligence.
