Commonly Misdiagnosed Conditions

A medical misdiagnosis can happen with almost any medical condition, but it occurs most frequently with certain health problems, including:

  • Infection
  • Cancer
  • Meningitis
  • Stroke
  • Heart Attack
  • Blood Clot

Missing the important signs that point to some of these medical conditions often results in a much more painful and expensive journey for a patient; and in some instances, it goes from a treatable to deadly condition because of delay and misdiagnosis. Not only is this scenario incredibly frustrating for victims and their families, it can also be extremely expensive.

Compromised Health Care Because of Delayed Diagnosis

Although it is impossible to know what the outcome of any medical diagnosis or treatment would be, we work with medical professionals to show the differences between the treatment options the person could have received and the options available because of the delayed diagnosis. This deep dive into your health and the current treatment trajectory is complicated and comprehensive and one of the many reasons you want to make sure you are working with a highly experienced legal team when undertaking any medical malpractice lawsuit of this nature.  
 
Although we are not able to change the health of the person, we can help victims and their families receive financial compensation to account for:

  • Reduced life expectancy
  • Unnecessarily invasive surgery
  • Prescription expenses
  • Preventable death
  • And overall life impact specific to your case

Failure to Diagnose After Surgery

When patients are recovering from surgery, it is common for them to be in pain. However, in some situations, patients suffer more pain than they should because the doctor nicked or cut something he or she should not have cut during the procedure; or left a foreign object in the body. Most commonly, this type of issue occurs because the doctor either failed to recognize the injury they caused and/or failed to repair an injury after they knowingly caused it. The myriad of health issues that come from a failure to diagnose after surgery range from minor to deadly, and many patients are confused as to why they left a procedure feeling worse instead of better.  

When this happens, it is an actionable San Antonio medical malpractice lawsuit if you are now experiencing any adverse issues as a result of negligence. Some of the more common issues a patient may experience because of this type of failure to diagnose include:

  • General infection
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Sepsis (blood infection)
  • Low immunity
  • Damage to internal organs
  • Death
