About Misdiagnosis

You know your body and how it functions like no one else.  You know when you are catching a cold, or if something is seriously wrong.  In most instances, when an individual feels that he or she is sick, has a broken bone, or some other type of issue that requires medical attention, he or she will visit the doctor or a hospital.  However, sometimes hospitals are quite busy, with hoards of people coming in at once for an array of injuries and illnesses at all hours of the day.  If your symptoms do not present an obvious illness, a doctor may pass up on additional testing and fail to diagnosis your case.

In too many unfortunate situations, this will happen when an individual has a life threatening disease, such as cancer.  Even in smaller cases, with broken bones, a doctor can fail to diagnose a broken foot and allow the patient to continue walking on it for some time.  After a while, the growing problem may become unbearable and the patient will revisit the doctor only to find out that extensive surgeries and costly rehabilitation are required for recovery.
