Misdiagnosis or Missed Diagnosis? Either One Spells Tragedy.
In many health care situations, there exists only a certain window of time when effective action can be taken. If doctors wait too long, they may not be able to prevent life-changing damage to the body. This is true for many different kinds of ailments, including cancer, heart attacks and stroke.
If a doctor has waited too long to make a diagnosis, or has made a misdiagnosis that cost valuable time, it may be considered medical malpractice. Contact the lawyers at White & McCubbins to discuss your situation.
