Many clinics providing cosmetic surgery are operating on the fringes of the medical profession. While they operate from fancy surgerys and produce glossy brochures, further investigation can often turn up disturbing facts. Many of the doctors providing the service are based in the UK or elsewhere and come to the clinic only periodically to perform the surgery. Therefore when things go wrong afterwards, they are not available to give advice and patients are left in the hands of a nurse or even dumped back into the hands of their GP or local hospital to clean up the mess. The level of professional indemnity insurance is frequently inadequate. Often it is difficult to identify the legal identity of the provider of the service which may turn out to be a limited company with no assets.

One recurring theme is where the patient continues to complain to the doctor about ongoing chest pain.

During a delivery, a baby's shoulder can become stuck under the mother's pubic bone. When this happens, it is known as a shoulder dystocia.

This is known as erbs palsy.

However, the failure to recognize injury to the common bile duct often occurs when the physician improperly clips or cuts the common bile during a laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

Anesthesia errors can be deadly.

Failure to recognize the signs and symptoms of a heart attack can prove deadly. Doctors use a medical term known as a myocardial infraction when part of the heart dies from lack of blood flow. A heart attack can kill off part of the heart, causing the other parts of the heart to work overtime and stress itself. In some cases, if heart disease is recognized early enough, medication and treatment can greatly reduce the chance of suffering a permanent, life-long cardiac injury or even death.
