If a neurologist punctures the sciatic effrontery while performing a spinal slap is this considered malpractice?
Answers: No. That is one of the risks involved with having the procedure. They have to inform you about all the potential risks and you will have to sign a consent form since they will do the procedure on you.
Once you sign the form-----if any of the risks occur during the procedure, you will have known that could surface.
But----the chances of that occurring are VERY slim. Any questions or concerns you have, please discuss them next to your neurologist.
This is a very good, factual website from the NIH (National Institutes of Health):

The Sciatic brass neck is in the middle of your butt cheek. It would be hard to confuse the spine near the middle of the butt cheek.
Now injections, that is another matter, often a Nurse to be precise in a hurry will miss the correct spot for the injection and hit the sciatic nerve, you will immediately touch it all the way down the back of your leg. But it is deeply hard to bring suit against hospitals, you sign a consent form when you enter the hospital.
