A patient diagnosed with cancer thinks the diagnosis should have come earlier. What do they do? Failure to diagnose is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. today. Failure to diagnose is also referred to as misdiagnosis or even wrong diagnosis, although misdiagnosis usually means a wrong diagnosis and the wrong treatment. Wrong diagnosis may also mean the wrong conclusion about a disease and the wrong treatment being prescribed. “What if this happened to you?

We are getting a lot of calls right now from people who are being diagnosed with advanced diseases, like cancer, some that are terminal that should have been diagnosed much sooner.

If doctors speak out against medical malpractice caps, the public resonates with that. However, politicians think they are blowing smoke. “What would happen if the relative of a politician, or a politician, were severely harmed by medical malpractice? What if they wanted to take their case to court because their life had been catastrophically affected and they needed medical care for the rest of their lives, but they found out they could only recover $250,000 if they were successful in their suit?
