Medical Liability Consultants, Inc. Glossary Medical Malpractice

Misdiagnosis When you go into the doctor's office with symptoms of a medical problem, you expect and hope that a medical professional will do everything in their power to discover the cause of your signs and symptoms, make a proper diagnosis, and indicate the best way to treat or manage the medical condition. More often than we wish to believe, doctors fail to address a patient's signs and symptoms, order appropriate medical tests, or otherwise take every step possible to determine a patient's condition. When a physician makes a misdiagnosis of a patient's medical condition, the mistake has the potential to cause serious injury and illness.
