Misdiagnosis: a Form of Medical Malpractice
Patients give absolute trust to their doctors and nurses. We respect their professional opinions and expect them to be accurate in their diagnosis and treatment of us. But what happens when they make a mistake and misdiagnose us or fail to give us a certain test that could have shown a cancerous tumor or other ailment? If a doctor fails to recognize the complaints of their patient, the results can lead to irreversible injuries later. When conditions resulting from a misdiagnosis could have been prevented, the medical malpractice attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm believe the patient and their family should not be responsible for the damages caused.
