The most common medical malpractice cases involve a healthcare provider’s failure to properly diagnose a patient. When a patient goes to a doctor for medical help, he or she trusts that the doctor will perform the necessary steps to determine what is causing their illness. However, the doctor may make the wrong diagnosis, or fail to diagnose the medical condition at all.
A misdiagnosis, or failure to diagnose, can cause a patient to undergo unnecessary treatment. This can lead to a significant delay in proper treatment. In many types of cancers and other diseases, an early proper diagnosis can be the difference between life and death. Therefore, it is crucial for doctors to make the correct diagnosis as soon as possible. An improper diagnosis, or a complete failure to diagnose, happens when a doctor doesn’t diagnose a health problem in a timely manner. The failure to properly diagnose the patient usually leads to the doctors and nurses providing improper treatment. In many cases, medical conditions can be treated when they are caught early. However, the failure to diagnose or treat a medical condition can, in many cases, lead to further injury or even death.
