Misdiagnosis & Failure to Diagnose

When a doctor misses or misidentifies a condition that another competent doctor would have caught, it may be malpractice. Common examples:

Cancer (breast, colon, lung, skin, cervical)

Heart disease or imminent heart attack

Stroke or aneurysm

Internal bleeding

Serious infection (staph, strep, tetanus)

The American Cancer Society notes that even a 3-month delay in cancer diagnosis can require more aggressive treatment and raise the risk of death.

A doctor-patient relationship existed
