Failure to Diagnose
With any medical procedure, there are always the risks of complications occurring. If not properly diagnosed or treated, these complications can cause further harm to the patients resulting in devastating injuries and/or fatalities. A serious form of medical malpractice occurs if complications are not diagnosed.
If complications are not properly diagnosed or treated, they may lead to new or aggravated injuries or even death. It is the duty of a doctor or physician to provide the highest standard of care when diagnosing or treating a condition. This means constantly monitoring the condition and providing the best possible diagnosis and treatment for possible complications that may occur. It is important for a physician to take the time to record and respond to patient's reports of new or aggravated symptoms and to conduct sufficient follow-up to avoid overlooking potentially serious complications.
There are a number of complications that may be misdiagnosed or completely overlooked. Some examples of complications not diagnosed include:
- complications of pregnancy such as infections
- complications of heart attacks such as a ruptured heart muscle
- complications of strokes
- complications of cancer
