Are all complications caused by malpractice?

No. Sometimes a doctor can do everything right in surgery or in a procedure and something will still go wrong. Because each body is different, it is impossible to predict how a person will respond to treatment or a surgical procedure. This variance is not the result of malpractice but of the individual’s body. However, it is possible for a complication to be the result of a doctor’s malpractice and so it is important to look at the entire situation before dismissing a complication as a strange reaction.
