Failure To Diagnose
One of the more common forms of medical malpractice is the outright failure to diagnose a condition. Some of the more commonly mis-diagnosed conditions are hypertension and diabetes. More than 15 million cases of hypertension and 5.7 million diabetes cases have yet to be diagnosed. Other conditions such as heart attack, lung, breast or colon cancer, and appendicitis lead to rapid accumulation of expenses if not diagnosed. Failure to diagnose medical conditions can seriously jeopardize a person’s health and wellness. When a doctor or healthcare provider fails to diagnose a medical condition, this is a form of medical malpractice.
