Understanding Delayed Diagnosis in Medical Malpractice
A delayed diagnosis occurs when a doctor fails to recognize and diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner, leading to unnecessary suffering, complications, or irreversible damage. Common cases include:
- Cancer Misdiagnosis: A delayed cancer diagnosis can result in the disease advancing to later stages, reducing treatment options and survival rates.
- Stroke & Heart Attack Delays: Failing to identify early symptoms of a stroke or heart attack can lead to severe disability or death.
- Infections & Sepsis: Undiagnosed infections can quickly spread, causing life-threatening conditions that could have been prevented with early intervention.
- Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease may progress rapidly without timely diagnosis and treatment.
