Defining Diagnosis Malpractice
Many Memphis medical malpractice lawsuits arise following a physician's failure to diagnose an illness during the critical period of time in which the illness is curable or containable. However, simply because a physician failed to diagnose an illness does not guarantee a successful medical malpractice lawsuit. Rather, three conditions must be proven by the plaintiff and his or her attorney:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed at the time of the diagnosis error
- Negligence occurred on the part of the medical professional (breached a standard of care; did not act how a reasonably prudent physician would act under the same circumstances)
- The patient suffered undue harm as a result of the actions of the medical professional
To show these three conditions, experts are often required to testify, records often need to be retrieved and significant research must be done. As such, Memphis medical malpractice lawsuits are expensive to conduct, difficult to prove, and should only be handled by the most knowledgeable and experienced attorneys.
Bad Diagnosis Lawsuits
When a physician or other medical professional fails to diagnose a disease or condition in a timely manner, or gives a dangerous misdiagnosis, the ramifications can be severe. Failing to diagnose ailments like cancer, heart attacks, strokes, appendicitis, and other conditions can seriously affect the rest of the patient's life. Similarly, treating a patient for a disease he or she does not have could lead to long-term impairment and possibly death.
