Medical malpractice is a doctor's failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician or surgeon of the same medical specialty would use under similar circumstances.

In the United States, over 120,000 people die each year as a result of medical negligence in hospitals. It is estimated that in excess of one million injuries occur annual at the hands of physicians.  These mistakes are not only caused by physicians and residents, but also nurses, technicians and malfunctioning equipment.
