Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose are unfortunately two of the most common types of medical malpractice cases. A number of factors can play a role in misdiagnosis including:
- Failure to listen to a patient’s complaints;
- Failure to conduct thorough examinations of patients or to take a full medical history;
- Failure to diagnose underlying conditions;
- Failure to diagnose the subtype of a properly diagnosed disease such as diabetes or heart disease;
- Failure to assess signs of distress during labor and delivery;
- Failure to diagnose any complications that the original disease caused;
- Failure to order a diagnostic test;
- Misinterpretation of test results;
- Error in judgment, faulty memory or medical knowledge; or
- Lack of communication or miscommunication among medical staff.
When doctors or health care providers fail to deliver the proper standard of care, the patient suffers unnecessarily. The results of such poor treatment range from prolonged pain and discomfort to long-term disability or even death. Conditions such as colorectal cancer, appendicitis and heart attack, for example, are treatable at early stages, but can be fatal if misdiagnosed or left untreated.
In cases of obvious misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, we believe health care providers should be held accountable for their mistakes. The medical malpractice attorneys at Rosen & Rosen have represented many people in South Florida who were victims of misdiagnosis. We work with accredited medical experts to assess whether the recognized standard of health care was met, and we will aggressively pursue your case.
