Misdiagnose or Failure to Diagnose

As patients, we rely on physicians to diagnose us properly. When that doesn’t happen, you are deprived of proper and timely treatment. Although there is no cure for cancer, many types are treatable when caught early.

When doctors fail to recognize signs and symptoms, fail to run appropriate tests, and neglect to timely diagnose cancer, you can be robbed of life-saving treatment.

With the widely relied upon use of mammograms, colonoscopies, blood tests and MRIs, it is unacceptable that some patients go undiagnosed. By misreading a scan or overlooking a test abnormality, the opportunity for patients to undergo life-saving treatment is stolen.

Failing to diagnose or misdiagnosing a serious illness has severe impact on the lives of patients.

The most commonly misdiagnosed or failed diagnoses are:

• Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Breast cancer
• Appendicitis
• Lung cancer
• Colon cancer
