Cancer Misdiagnosis Can Lead to Medical Malpractice Claims
Posted on Apr 5, 2010 4:10pm PDT
There are two ways in which cancer can be misdiagnosed: when you have cancer and it is not caught or when you do not have cancer and you are told that you are suffering from cancer. Tests may be read improperly leading to your doctor not being able to properly treat your illness. Either of these cases can lead to emotional distress and having cancer than goes untreated can lead to serious illness.
You should be able to protect your rights when you are injured in a medical malpractice situation. When medical professionals do not operate properly and put your life in danger when they should be helping you, then you will want to pursue a medical malpractice case. Your life may be forever altered after malpractice, so the guilty party should be held responsible for the pain that they have caused you.
