Should The Doctor Have Diagnosed My Medical Condition?
Doctors are human beings, and sometimes illnesses develop quickly without obvious symptoms. In other cases, even if your doctor had an opportunity to diagnose your condition sooner, it may not have led to a different outcome.
However, if your doctor had an opportunity to diagnose your condition and failed to do so in a timely manner, and earlier treatment would have made a difference, you may have a case of medical negligence or malpractice.
The following are examples of misdiagnosis:
- Failure to diagnose a treatable form of a disease such as cancer despite visible symptoms;
- Failure to order appropriate tests for someone your age or with your symptoms;
- Failure to timely and accurately review lab test results or medical images, and inform you of the results;
- Discharging you from an emergency room despite symptoms of heart attack, stroke or other serious illness; and
- Failure to diagnose acute illness such as an infection, meningitis or appendicitis.
