• Misdiagnosis leading to inappropriate treatment

• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical instruments inside patients
• Anesthesia errors
• Post-operative infection due to inadequate care

• Prescribing incorrect medications

• Failing to check for drug interactions
• Pharmacy dispensing errors
