Failure to Diagnose

Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose

Effective healthcare and treatment begins with a proper diagnosis of your medical condition. A delayed or improper diagnosis of a serious long-term medical condition can lead to serious complications. A misdiagnosis of an emergency condition by a paramedic or an emergency room physician can be fatal.
