What is an Example of a Diagnosis Error or Misdiagnosis?
The results of a misdiagnosis come in a variety of different forms, and you need a team at your side that understands the nuances of these cases to ensure you get the compensation you and your family deserve. In general, this type of medical malpractice presents itself in three categories:
- Delayed Diagnosis: In these cases, while a correct diagnosis was made in the end, the delay in diagnosis causes devastating damage to the patient and their family. An example of a delayed diagnosis case is a cancer patient who lost precious time with their family, or even the chance to cure the disease, because of a doctor’s negligence.
- Failure to Diagnose: A failure to diagnose means that the patient never received the correct diagnosis, and it resulted in life-changing injuries or death. A failure of diagnosis can lead to a heart attack, infection, brain damage, stroke, or worse—all of which could have been prevented or treated had the doctor made the correct diagnosis in a timely manner.
- Misdiagnosis: Imagine coming into a hospital for pain in your chest and being diagnosed with heartburn instead of esophageal cancer. Sadly, we represent cases like this all the time where a misdiagnosis leads to the worsening of a condition and even death. We’ve also helped families whose misdiagnosis pushed them into a surgery, chemotherapy, or other treatment they never needed.
