When a patient gets admitted in a hospital, the hospital staff owes certain duties to the patient. Hospital staff owes a primary duty of reasonable care. Hospital staff despite their good intentions, skill and training, may commit mistakes. They are humans after all. But the hospital staff is expected to be attentive, competent, and careful in administering their services. The lives of people are at stake. Failure to exercise the necessary care can result in hospital negligence.
