When we go to the doctor exhibiting painful or worrisome health symptoms, we expect that a medical professional will quickly diagnose our issues and prescribe proper treatment. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.

This is called misdiagnosis, and it is a serious issue. It can lead to the administration of the wrong drugs, the wrong treatment, or even a treatment that makes the patients’ condition worsen. The actual illness is left untreated, often causing serious injuries or wrongful death.

Misdiagnosis can be a life or death matter. If you have been affected, contact the aggressive legal team at Freidin Brown, P.A. today. See how our Fort Lauderdale misdiagnosis lawyers can help you file a claim for compensation.

Misdiagnosis of Cancer

Cancer is a scary disease, as many people die from it. The sooner cancer is diagnosed, the better the chances for a full recovery. When cancer is misdiagnosed, there is no treatment. If cancer is diagnosed at a later date, it could be too late for effective treatment.

Breast cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer are some forms of cancer that get worse with time when they are not properly treated. If there is a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis when it comes to cancer, it is often because of the following:

  • Failure to correctly recognize the patient’s symptoms
  • Failure to perform prostate exams, cervical exams, mammograms, and other cancer screenings as needed
  • Failure to recognize visible cancer cells during a skin cancer exam
  • Failure to perform biopsies of abnormal tissue
  • Failure to correctly interpret diagnostic test results to spot malignancies
  • Failure to start necessary treatment after receiving abnormal test results

Misdiagnosis of Heart Attack

Heart attacks are often misdiagnosed as anxiety, heartburn, or indigestion. When they are misdiagnosed, it could lead to permanent damage to the heart or even wrongful death. When a patient is suffering from heart attack symptoms, a medical professional should immediately administer appropriate tests and treatments such as electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, coronary artery disease tests, cardiac enzyme tests, angiograms, and stress tests.

Common heart attack symptoms include:

  • Chest pain
  • Back, shoulder, or arm pain
  • Fainting or lightheadedness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Nausea
  • Sweating

Misdiagnosis of Stroke

Strokes can also be misdiagnosed. A stroke blocks the blood supply that carries oxygen to the brain. A lack of oxygen for an extended period of time can cause permanent brain damage.

When medical personnel fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke, and the patient sustains a serious injury or death, the patient could file a medical malpractice lawsuit. The sooner a stroke is diagnosed, the better the chance of a full recovery.

Symptoms of a stroke include:

  • Paralysis or weakness on one side of their body
  • Diminished mental capacity
  • Inability to speak or understand speech
  • Decreased motor skills
