Misdiagnosis
When you go to the hospital or visit a doctor, you should be confident that your doctor will accurately diagnose your ailment and provide you with the appropriate treatment plan. However, statistics show doctors get it wrong 10-15% of the time.
Misdiagnosis is dangerous and can be fatal. Failure to receive a correct diagnose not only leads to improper treatment, but it also prevents you from getting the treatment you may need to survive.
The most common types of misdiagnosis include:
- Cancer
- Heart Attack
- Aortic Dissection
- Clogged arteries
- Infection
It isn’t easy to recognize when misdiagnosis occurs, and that is what makes it so dangerous. The longer a person goes untreated because of an incorrect diagnosis , the worse the potential consequences.
It is important to look for the following warning signs to determine whether you or a loved one may have been misdiagnosed:
- Unimproved or worsening condition after treatment
- Diagnosis not in line with symptoms
- Lack of medical testing
- Uncommon symptoms attributed to common problem
If you believe your doctor may have made a misdiagnosis, it is important for you to seek a second opinion. In fact, in order to file a claim for medical malpractice, Ohio law requires you to have the sworn statement of another doctor who is willing to testify that a mistake was made. In this specific instance, the doctor must admit that the original doctor misdiagnosed the patient, and that the patient suffered damage as the result of the misdiagnosis.
