Medical malpractice occurs when doctors, nurses, and other health care providers fail to treat patients in accordance to the accepted standard of care. When they fail to obtain consent and administer treatment, they may face administrative or even criminal consequences for their negligence, depending on the situation. Violations of patient consent may include range of situations, but they often involve those where surgery is performed on the wrong site or body part, or when doctor performs an additional procedure that patient did not consent to during an approved operation. Failures in the description of what procedure entails or the risks procedure poses commonly involve misstatements or inaccuracies, including inaccuracies about the frequency at which complications occur.
