Different medical conditions often share the same symptoms. It’s important that a doctor accurately diagnose a patient’s condition based on those symptoms so that the patient receives the proper treatment. When doctors fail to make a thorough examination or order the right tests, their patients may suffer as a result.
Misdiagnosis of a condition or failure to diagnosis a condition are among the leading causes of medical errors in Houston. When a doctor makes a mistake while diagnosing or fails to diagnose a potentially serious condition, the patient can suffer irreparable harm and even death. Patients who have been injured due to a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose may be able to recover compensation for their damages by filing a medical malpractice lawsuit.
