A cesarean section is a delivery procedure in which the doctor cuts open the mother's abdomen and delivers the baby through this opening. This procedure is usually associated with more complications than a typical procedure, and for that reason, the mother has a greater chance of injury. 

Cesarean sections are typically needed because of complications with the baby or the mother. The complications include a breeched baby, a baby with birth defects, or a mother with a serious illness or medical condition. 

During the cesarean section, the mother may face an infection, blood loss, respiratory complications, and other related risks. On the other hand, the baby may face breathing difficulties or other fetal injuries. 

If you have undergone a cesarean section and sustained an injury in the process, contact the Washington birth delivery malpractice lawyers of Fuller & Fuller at 800-570-4878.

People who are fed up with glasses or are tired of contacts sometimes turn to LASIK. It stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, which is the process of permanently adjusting the shape of a person's cornea to improve the focus of the eye. 

While most patients who undergo LASIK do not experience problems, some suffer serious injuries from the surgery. These problems include double vision, night myopia, blurred vision, and even total loss of sight. Although these problems may be related to risk associated with the procedure, some are caused by surgical negligence. 

If you or anyone you know has suffered problems after undergoing LASIK, contact the Washington medical malpractice attorneys of Fuller & Fuller at 800-570-4878.

The Computerized Axial Tomography scan takes x-rays that are more detailed than common x-rays. One advantage of CAT scans over traditional x-rays is that they can show cross-sectional and 3-D views of the body's soft tissue organs.

Before the CAT scan is performed, a patient is given an injection of a contrast solution so that their organs will show up more clearly. These contrast agents can lead to possible injuries including rashes and hives, among others.
