What is the difference between medical malpractice and wrongful death?

Medical malpractice is an act of negligence. Wrongful death, on the other hand, is a type of damage. They are very different, and often act independently of one another. A medical malpractice suit may not involve wrongful death (or the death of anyone at all), and a wrongful death suit may not involve medical malpractice (or the medical field in any way)

Have I waived my rights if I signed a consent form for a medical procedure or a general waiver of rights?

The average medical consent form is an acknowledgement of the risks that may be associated with the procedure. It is not intended to deny you of your rights. Even if you sign a medical consent form, the doctors and staff are still required to follow standard procedures and provide you with professional medical care. You may be able to file a lawsuit if there is any deviation from these standards or if there is failure to follow medical safety guidelines. General waivers of rights are much different from medical consent forms, as they are intended to free the other party from a certain amount of liability or to protect their right to enforce their policies. You may buy a ticket to a sporting event that has a waiver printed on the ticket. This is intended to protect against lawsuits by patrons who suffer event-related injuries at the sporting event. This does not, however, ban law suits related to unsafe conditions or other types of negligence at the sporting event. Whether you have signed a consent form or a waiver of rights, contact an attorney so they can discuss your situation.
