According to a recent report from the Institute of Medicine up to 98,000 people die each year in American hospitals due to medical mistakes. You read correctly! The negligent failure to promptly diagnose cancer can reduce life expectancy and increase the severity of the treatment necessary for the cancer. This means higher doses of radiation and chemotherapy and more pain, suffering, debilitation, as well as higher costs and a greater risk of death. Many cancers can be successfully treated when diagnosed at an early stage, such as breast, lung, prostate, testicular, ovarian, cervical, and colon cancer. The failure to make an early diagnosis is often the result of the health care provider’s failure to respond intelligently and aggressively to a patient’s complaint, or misreading of x-rays that show signs of the cancer. If you believe that your doctor failed to diagnose cancer in a timely manner you should promptly contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney to investigate, so your rights can be protected.
