Failure To Diagnose And Missed Diagnosis
The Snyder Law Group, LLC Is Here For You!
Failure to diagnose a medical condition, or missed diagnosis, is a common form of medical malpractice that can result in serious injury to the patient. A delay in diagnosis of a condition or a misdiagnosis of a condition with similar symptoms can allow a disease to progress and put a patient’s health at risk.
Conditions and diseases that can be deadly if misdiagnosed:
- Cancer
- Appendicitis
- Heart attack or stroke
- Dangerous infections
- Pneumonia
Many other conditions can cause serious health concerns and medical issues if undiagnosed. If a missed diagnosis has put you at risk, the Snyder Law Group, LLC can help.
Dangers Of Misdiagnosis And Delayed Diagnosis
