The Cleveland Clinic Is Highly Rated But Also A Large Institution That Inflicts Medical Malpractice On Many Patients Each Year

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation is consistently rated as one of the top hospitals in the United States; just recently they maintained their ranking as the No. 2 ranked hospital system by U.S. News and World Report. However, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, through nurses, physicians and staff, also are guilty of numerous acts of medical malpractice on many patients each year. There are a number of reasons why this occurs, among them:

• The Cleveland Clinic is an enormous business with hospitals spread throughout Ohio and Florida. As a result, The Cleveland Clinic treats a high volume of patients through the employment of thousands of nurses and physicians, not all of whom are as well trained and experienced as advertised.
• The Cleveland Clinic is a profitable business and, while they genuinely try to provide acceptable medical care, they are influenced by profit, which can lead to medical mistakes and malpractice. For example, The Cleveland Clinic has purchased various hospitals and assumed the employment of many physicians who wear and advertise The Cleveland Clinic badge, but whom do not share the excellent education, training and experience many of the physicians at their main campus have.
• The Cleveland Clinic has a practice of hiring a well credentialed and trained physician to be identified as a leader in a particular area of medicine. This physician is held out to the public in advertising as the best in that area of medicine; however, below them are physicians who see many patients and who are not as experienced as the division leader. These other physicians unfortunately perform many instances of medical malpractice on patients who were drawn to The Cleveland Clinic through advertisement of the division leader.
• The Cleveland Clinic strives to be an international provider of medical care. As a result, they seek to hire physicians and care providers from numerous foreign countries with training outside the U.S. While there are many very good foreign-born and foreign-trained physicians, there are also physicians hired as a result of their ability to attract foreign patients who have a skill set that is less than that of a U.S. trained physician. This can lead to devastating medical malpractice occurring to patients who seek care at The Cleveland Clinic.
• The Cleveland Clinic is a “teaching hospital,” which means residents and fellows often see patients more often than the fully trained attending physician that you have retained to be your physician. Many patients report that they see the attending physician at the beginning of the care, and thereafter, they are routinely and frequently seen by inferiorly trained assistants, residents or fellows. This lower level of training often results in numerous instances of medical malpractice.
