Construction workers, the men and women who build America, do so at risk to their own safety. In fact, every year thousands of construction workers are injured while at work (more so then in any other profession), and sometimes even killed.
Because errors made on the operating table can have life-altering consequences for patients, surgeons and health care professionals whose negligence injures or kills a patient can be sued for medical malpractice. If you or a loved one has been injured because of a surgeon’s mistake, consider contacting a medical malpractice attorney in your area.
The scores from the 1-minute test determine how well the baby tolerated childbirth, and the 5-minute score is meant to give insight into how the baby is doing outside of the womb.
