How a Diagnosing Error May Lead to a Wrongful Death
An illness left untreated because of a diagnosing error results in an increased likelihood that serious consequences such as the need for high-risk surgery or even death may occur, resulting in a potential wrongful death lawsuit.
In fact, one of the most common types of medical malpractice cases is misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cancer. This is particularly true when it comes to breast cancer diagnosis, which represents the largest segment of medical malpractice lawsuits in the United States.
The following are some diagnosing errors made by medical professionals:
- Delayed diagnosis of cancer
- Failure to refer to a specialist
- Failure to properly analyze lab results
- Failure to monitor changes in a patient's progression of a misdiagnosed disease
- Failure to order a biopsy
- Misinterpretation of tests
- Failure to order necessary lab or medical tests
