It has been said that the best way to avoid committing medical malpractice is always to treat the patient as if they were your sibling, mother, father, best friend, or other family members. In one case, a female patient who had just undergone a hysterectomy was mistakenly identified as needing an ultrasound of the bladder and taken off to have the test performed. Her bladder was filled with saline, causing a surgical suture to tear loose.  The patient stated she was never asked about her identity, and her ID bracelet was never checked, despite her complaints that she was not supposed to have an ultrasound.  She later suffered wound dehiscence, (a partial or total separation of previously approximated wound edges due to a failure of proper wound healing),requiring a subsequent repair surgery.  This resulted in a lawsuit.  Do you think a lawsuit could have been prevented by telling the patient about the mistake? Explain your rationale for your decision. Could a lawsuit have been prevented for any other reason?
