treatment injury
Explanation:
In legal terms, it is a "treatment injury" -- NOT medical malpractice, as that is a different legal concept.

it is a "no-fault" (legal term of art) negative consequence from a medical treatment.


Careful!!! "treatment injury" in Swedish law does not mean the same thing as a treatment injury in English or US law.
