Pittsburgh Failure to Diagnose Lawyer
Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Attorney
“What if the doctor had caught it earlier?”
It is one of life’s biggest and most heart-wrenching of the “what if” questions. It is a question that gets asked again and again by people living with serious or terminal illnesses, and by family members of those who have died unexpectedly of a serious illness.
Honest mistakes are made in the health care profession, just as in any profession. Unfortunately, doctor sometimes fail to diagnose serious illnesses due to inexcusable inattention or inexperience. Sometimes, an emergency room physician or nurse fails to diagnose a major medical event such as a heart attack or stroke despite obvious warning signs.
