More Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose Information
When we don’t feel good or think something is wrong with us, we rely on our doctors and other health care providers to find the answers. However, the fact is that the majority of malpractice cases in our country involve misdiagnoses, delayed diagnosis or other diagnostic errors. A study conducted in 1993 found that almost 52% of emergency room related malpractice cases involved an error in diagnosing the patient. But errors don’t just occur in the emergency room. Lab technicians or radiologists can misread studies, doctors can fail to order appropriate testing, or nurses can fail to relay symptoms. Most people think about delays in diagnosing cancer, but numerous other diseases, illnesses, and injuries are commonly misdiagnosed or not diagnosed. Heart attacks are one common example. When people are not accurately and promptly diagnosed, they are at risk of having a worse chance of recovery, a longer recovery period, permanent damage-such as paralysis, or even death.
