Misdiagnosis of an illness or other condition can range from failure to diagnose to diagnosing the wrong condition. In any event, the results can be disastrous for the patient. If the doctor assigns the patient’s symptoms to the wrong illness, he or she may prescribe medication which will not treat the condition or which may even cause complications, injury or a worsening of condition. Inappropriate medications, wrong procedures and unnecessary surgeries can be injurious to the patient, in addition to the fact that the actual condition continues to go untreated, potentially becoming far worse and even progressing past the possibility of effective treatment.
Doctors spend years in medical school receiving exhaustive education and rigorous training, and a large portion of their education is focused on developing the ability to accurately diagnose a patient’s condition. If a doctor fails to perform at the acceptable standards of practice, he or she may be held legally responsible for the patient’s suffering. Provided that another doctor faced with the same symptoms and lab results could reasonably have been expected to make the correct diagnosis, you may be entitled to claim monetary damages.Contact our office now to discuss your legal options and to learn more about how a Texas misdiagnosis lawyer can help you.
