Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyers
A key element in any course of medical treatment is the correct and timely identification of the illness, medical condition or injury. All medical care that follows is dictated based on that diagnosis. If a physician makes a mistake at that stage the patient may receive care that does not help him or her, thereby allowing his or her actual condition to worsen. The patient can also receive medical care that may actually worsen his or her condition.
Diagnostic errors fall into several categories:
- Failure to diagnose — Failing to diagnose an illness, condition or injury
- Misdiagnosis — Incorrectly diagnosing an illness, condition or injury
- Delayed diagnosis — Failing to diagnose an illness, condition or injury in a fashion that allows for the timely delivery of critical care
Some of the medical conditions that are most affected by diagnostic errors include:
- Cancer
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Pulmonary embolism
