Misdiagnosis in Medical Malpractice Cases

If your doctor did not properly diagnose your medical condition or if the doctor fails to advise you of the correct medical problem, the result can be devastating for the patient. It may involve a misdiagnosis of cancer which could lead to death. It could be a misdiagnosis resulting in untreated diabetes which also can result in serious permanent injuries or wrongful death.

Recently a 59 year old man had 80% of his stomach removed and underwent 7 sessions of chemotherapy before the providers realized he never had cancer in the first place. The shocking misdiagnosis means that this man cannot eat sitting down for the rest of his life, has lost an incredible amount of weight and is dealing with depression and anxiety. All he suffered from was reflux when his physician referred him for a gastric biopsy.

The alleged bungle at the hospital's pathology lab led to his misdiagnosis. The patient was devastated when he discovered that he did not have cancer and yet lost nearly all of his stomach.
