In order for the brain to work well, it needs a constant supply of oxygen with no interruption whatsoever. This is because of the fact that nerve cells are dependent on oxygen to function, and the interruption of oxygen supply to brain cells for about 4 minutes will start the process of brain cell death, and if left to continue for a few more minutes, death can set in. the lack of oxygen to the brain is called anoxia, and it may be caused by instances of medical malpractice. Even if individuals survive anoxia, chances are that they may never be the same again due to the permanent death of brain cells, leading to memory problems, confusion, dizziness and mood disorders. If you or a loved one suffered from anoxia due to the negligent actions of a physician, you have every right to file a legal claim in order to recover money damages, something we’d be more than happy to help you with.
