Diagnosis: The First Duty
The most important part of any doctor’s job is to diagnose his or her patient’s illness or injury. Some of the most tragic medical malpractice cases our team sees are when a patient dies or is badly hurt by something that could have been easily cured. Many of these malpractice cases we've seen over and over again. Cases like:
- Cancer misdiagnosis malpractice
- Failure to diagnose compartment syndrome
- Failure to diagnose infection
- Failure to diagnose injuries during surgery
- Missed meningitis diagnosis
- Missed heart attack diagnosis
The shame of it is that modern medicine has the tools and tests that make quick and accurate diagnosis routine--if the tests are ordered, and if the doctor acts on the results. But when doctors don't do their jobs, all of the knowledge and technology in modern medicine might as well not exist. Tests that aren't used, and results that aren't read, can't save anyone's life.
The Main Cause of Misdiagnosis Malpractice: Doctors Who Don't Pay Attention
When you go to the doctor, the first thing the doctor does is to ask you what's wrong with you--why you are there. Medicine has been following this basic procedure for hundreds of years, and still does--because the only way doctors can help a patient is if they know what is going on with the patient. And the only way for them to know is to listen.
Your doctor won't know to suspect lung cancer if he is too busy to listen when you tell him about your breathing problems. And a doctor that has to see 25 children a day to make his quota may easily miss the signs of meningitis in a child.
When doctors spend five minutes with a patient and race on to the next patient, that's great for profits--if you get to charge each patient $200 or more for those five minutes. It is terrible for the quality of care.
Putting profits over quality of care is never acceptable and is always medical malpractice. Your doctor owes his first loyalty and his attention to you, not his accountant or his bank book.
