With his extensive experience, attorney Asadi has successfully obtained compensation for clients who have suffered due to various forms of diagnostic negligence.
Types Of Diagnosis Errors
Diagnostic errors can take several forms, each with potentially serious consequences for patients. These errors include:
- Misdiagnosis occurs when a health care provider incorrectly identifies a patient’s condition, leading to inappropriate treatment that may cause additional harm
- Delayed diagnosis happens when a doctor fails to identify a condition in a timely manner, allowing it to worsen before proper treatment begins
- Failure to diagnose means a medical condition goes completely undetected, depriving the patient of necessary treatment
- Incorrect diagnosis involves identifying a secondary condition while missing the primary issue requiring treatment
Attorney Asadi investigates these errors thoroughly to build strong cases for his clients.
Common Causes Of Diagnostic Errors
Several factors can contribute to diagnostic errors, and attorney Asadi examines these causes to establish liability in medical malpractice cases:
- Communication breakdowns between health care providers or between doctors and patients
- Inadequate medical history collection or failure to order appropriate diagnostic tests
- Inexperienced practitioners making judgment errors or misinterpreting test results
- System failures within health care facilities that lead to lost test results or follow-up failures
These errors often reflect systemic problems within healthcare delivery rather than isolated mistakes.
Commonly Misdiagnosed Conditions
Certain conditions are particularly vulnerable to diagnostic errors due to their complex presentation. Among the most frequently misdiagnosed conditions is cancer, where early detection significantly impacts treatment success. Heart attacks are often misdiagnosed as anxiety, especially in women. Stroke symptoms may be attributed to other conditions, while infections like sepsis might be overlooked until life-threatening.
